Over 25% Sampled Veterans With Metabolic Syndrome

Computer-Based Screening of Veterans for Metabolic Syndrome. 06/30/09. Over one quarter of veterans in the VANCHCS may have metabolic syndrome based on our modified ATP III criteria. We urge screening more veterans with fasting laboratory testing. Computerized screening of a large clinical database can provide an effective strategy to aid clinicians in identifying more patients at risk for cardiovascular disease.
