Description: The modified Adult Treatment Panel -III guidelines
        (ATP-III) proposed by American Heart Association (AHA) and
        National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) are used
        widely for the clinical diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome. The
        AHA-NHLBI criteria advise using parameters such as waist
        circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic
        blood pressure (DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG),
        triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
        (HDLC) for diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. Each parameter has
        to be interpreted based on the proposed cut-offs, making the
        diagnosis slightly complex and error-prone. This package is
        developed by incorporating the modified ATP-III guidelines, and
        it will aid in the easy and quick diagnosis of metabolic
        syndrome in busy healthcare settings and also for research
        purposes. The modified ATP-III-AHA-NHLBI criteria for the
        diagnosis is described by Grundy et al ., (2005)
