Abstract

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by the clustering of central adiposity, elevated blood pressure, dysglycemia, and atherogenic dyslipidemia. Machine learning models for metabolic syndrome may show inflated performance when predictors overlap with the diagnostic criteria used to define the reference outcome.
