AB  - INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: To determine by confirmatory factor analysis whether 
      a model of the metabolic syndrome including waist circumference-to-height ratio, 
      as a measure of adiposity, has better goodness of fit than that based on waist 
      circumference alone and, on the basis of the data of the best-fit model, to 
      develop an index of global cardiometabolic risk in young adults. METHODS: 
      Cross-sectional observational study involving 683 university students aged 18 to 
      30 years, in their first year at the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Spain, 
      during the 2009-10 academic year. We compared the best fit of 2 models of the 
      metabolic syndrome, both of which included the triglyceride-to-high-density 
      lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, HOMA-IR index, and mean arterial blood pressure, 
      but differed in that one of them used waist circumference, whereas the other used 
      the waist circumference-to-height ratio. A metabolic syndrome index (MSI) was 
      constructed and its association with aerobic capacity, daily physical activity 
      and muscle strength was estimated. RESULTS: The single-factor model that included 
      waist circumference was a better indicator of goodness of fit. The MSI was 
      inversely associated with aerobic capacity and muscle strength. CONCLUSIONS: This 
      study confirms that a single factor underlies the concept of metabolic syndrome; 
      including the waist circumference-to-height ratio does not result in improvements 
      over the model in which waist circumference alone is considered, and the 
      development of a quantitative MSI may be useful for the quantification of 
      cardiometabolic risk in clinical practice.
