Detailed Description

In the first METSAR-I study conducted in 2003, metabolic syndrome screening was made by two different team. Participants were visited at their addresses and informed about the research study and gave written consent. They were invited on an empty stomach for hospital visit on the day after. Pre-trained nurses completed the forms of patients during that second visit. After 11 years, a questionnaire by telephone survey will be applied to patients who participated in the METSAR-II study. The main goal is to determine the changes of metabolic syndrome population during that period.
