Prevalence of the Metabolic Syndrome in the United States, 2003-2012 The metabolic syndrome contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.1-4 Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2006 reported a metabolic syndrome prevalence of 34%.5 Understanding updated prevalence trends may be important given the potential effect of the metabolic syndrome and its associated health complications on the aging US population.
