• Newly diagnosed subjects should fulfil criteria for diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus or metabolic syndrome or obesity or arterial hypertension, following the study definitions
• Subjects that are currently being treated for type 2 diabetes mellitus or metabolic syndrome or obesity or arterial hypertension, should have had a prior diagnosis based on study definitions; Study definitions:; Type 2 diabetes mellitus
• At least 2 times a fasting glucose > 7,0 mmol/L
• Or elevated non-fasting glucose >11,1 mmol/L 2 hrs after OGTT
• Or HbA1c ≥48 mmol/mol (≥6.5%)
• Or being actively treated for previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes by a health care provider; Obesity
• Body mass index (BMI) > 30
• Or waist circumferences Caucasian: male ≥ 94 cm, female ≥ 80 cm South-Asian/Chinese: male ≥90 cm, female ≥80 cm Japanese: male ≥85 cm, female ≥90 cm; Arterial hypertension
• Systolic BP ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg
• Or being actively treated for previously diagnosed arterial hypertension by a health care provider; Metabolic syndrome
• Central obesity defined as waist circumference (see above), if BMI is >30 kg/m2, central obesity can be assumed and waist circumference does not need to be measured; AND any two of the following:
• Raised triglycerides: ≥ 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L), or specific treatment for this lipid abnormality
• Reduced HDL cholesterol: < 40 mg/dL (1.03 mmol/L) in males, < 50 mg/dL (1.29 mmol/L) in females, or specific treatment for this lipid abnormality
• Raised blood pressure (BP): systolic BP ≥ 130 or diastolic BP ≥ 85 mm Hg, or treatment of previously diagnosed hypertension
• Raised fasting plasma glucose (FPG): FGP ≥ 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L), or previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes (if above >5.6 mmol/L or 100 mg/dL, an oral glucose tolerance test is strongly recommended, but is not necessary to define presence of the syndrome)
