Correction

In the version of Diagnosis and Management of the Metabolic Syndrome: An American Heart
Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Scientific Statement that published online
ahead of print on September 12, 2005 (DOI: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.105.169404), the
following changes have been made to Table 2:

1. The value for categorical cut points in elevated waist circumference for men should have added
(40 inches) after 102 cm.
2. The value for categorical cut points in elevated waist circumference for women should have
added (35 inches) after 88 cm.
3. The conversion of mg/dL to mmol/L for reduced HDL-C is incorrect. The correct value for men
should be 1.03 mmol/L and the correct value for women should be 1.3 mmol/L.
4. In the footnotes, the values for marginally increased waist circumference should read (eg,
94 101 cm [3739 inches] in men and 80 87 cm [3134 inches] in women).

These changes were incorporated into the version of the article printed in the October 25, 2005,
issue (Circulation. 2005;112:27352752) and the current online version of the article. (If needed,
