Comparison of association of glomerular filtration rate with metabolic syndrome in a community-based population using the CKD-EPI and MDRD study equations

Compared with GFRMDRD, GFRCKD-EPI showed better association with prevalence of MetS, particularly in normal to mildly impaired GFR range. GFRCKD-EPI may improve risk stratification of individuals with MetS according to kidney function in community-based population.
