Risk Factor Analysis for Developing Metabolic Syndrome in Korean Adults

Completed
Conditions
Metabolic Syndrome, Atherosclerosis
Registration Number
NCT01594710
Lead Sponsor
Korea University
Brief Summary

In Asia, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome have been dramatically increased. Therefore, the investigators intend to the collect the blood sample, laboratory, anthropometric, and body composition parameters prospectively to examine the risk factors of metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, the investigators will collect the data of carotid IMT and branchial ankle pulse wave velocity to clarify the metabolic risk factors of atherosclerosis.
