Metabolic Syndrome Risk Check
Check your body's metabolic signals by the numbers
Key summary
The metabolic syndrome self-check compares five items with their reference values: waist circumference (Korean criteria), blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol. If three or more apply, you meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome, and you should get an accurate diagnosis at a medical facility. The values you enter in this tool are not sent to a server.

Are the values I enter saved?

Under the metabolic syndrome diagnostic criteria, if you are taking medication for blood pressure, blood glucose, or lipids, that item is considered met regardless of the value. Please tick the checkbox.
