In this study, as in the NHANES 1999–2000 study:
(i) patients who were receiving treatment with a
blood pressure-lowering medication, because of a
previously diagnosed hypertension, were considered
to have met the fourth criterion even when
their blood pressure was not ‡130/85 mmHg; (ii) patients who were receiving treatment with a
glucose-lowering medication, because of a previously
diagnosed high fasting glucose, were considered
to have met the fifth criterion even when their
fasting glucose was not ‡110 mg/dL; (iii) because
cholesterol-lowering medications can affect triglyceride
levels, the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia
was calculated once based on serum triglyceride
concentrations and again based on serum
triglyceride concentration and/or the use of cholesterol-
lowering medications; (iv) patients taking
cholesterol-lowering medications were considered
to have met the low HDL-C criterion only if their
HDL-C was
