INTRODUCTION: A meta-analysis of studies assessing the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist and an association with risk of @entity6 ( @entity6 ). MATERIALS AND METHODS: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI, CQVIP and Wanfang databases were searched for studies of the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist or association with risk of @entity6 . Reference lists of each original article were also searched. A random-effects model was used to synthesize the combined prevalence and odds ratios. Publication bias and substantial heterogeneity were examined. RESULTS: Twenty-five eligible studies involving 93  194 @entity1 (93  194 for prevalence and 34  199 for odds ratios): 17 articles of prevalence, and 8 of both prevalence and risk of @entity6 . Prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist ranged from 4% to 47%, with pooled prevalence of 18% (95% CI 13-23%), overall: 18% (95% CI 13-23%) for @entity1 and 19% (95% CI 13-24%) for @entity1 . Odds ratios ranged from 2.8 to 9.6 for T2MD in overall, with pooled odds ratios of 4.18 (95% CI 3.55-4.92), overall: 3.55 (95% CI 2.93-4.31) for @entity1 and 4.18 (95% CI 3.43-5.09) for @entity1 . DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist has reached an alarming level and is closely associated with increased risk of @entity6 in the general population, particularly among @entity1 and among brown-skinned @entity1 and @entity1 .
