Previous studies, such as Moore et al (NHANES 1988-2012), found an increasing trend in MetS, with lower prevalence among Black and Hispanic men compared to White men. 21 Similarly, Beltrán-Sánchez (NHANES 1999-2010) observed higher proportions of elevated blood pressure but lower prevalence of elevated triglycerides and reduced HDL-C among Black individuals. 8 Our findings align with these prior trends while extending the analysis over a more comprehensive 20-year period (1999-2018).
