Patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) are at increased risk for developing diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease.

In this study we sought to estimate the prevalence of MetS among a population of patients receiving annual health exams. We also studied the relationship between MetS and elevated white blood cell (WBC) count.
