The prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components were stratified by sex and two body weight comparison groups.
Metabolic syndrome and its individual factors were defined by CDS 2004. The cutoff points are as follow: waist for central obesity: men >90 cm, women >85 cm; hypertension: SBP/DBP≥135/85 mmHg; FPG≥6.1 mmol/L, and (or) 2 h PG≥7.8 mmol/L and (or) diabetes; TG≥1.7 or HDL-C<1.04 mmol/L. *Central obesity was excluded from the “≥1 MetS Components” and “≥2 MetS Components” in order to compare the differences of other obesity-related MetS components given very high prevalence of central obesity. MetS: Metabolic syndrome; UBW (Unlimited body weight): athletes in the heaviest weight category without maximum body weight limits and male athletes of wrestling with unachieved maximum weight limits; LBW (Limited body weight): all other athletes of body weight category with body weight limits.
