Central (visceral) obesity, dyslipidemia (high triglycerides), elevated blood pressure and insulin resistance are hallmark features of metabolic syndrome.

1. Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Metabolic syndrome is defined by a cluster of risk factors: increased waist circumference (central obesity), elevated triglycerides, reduced HDL cholesterol, elevated blood pressure, and elevated fasting glucose/insulin resistance. Common definitions: NCEP ATP III uses waist >102 cm (men) or >88 cm (women); IDF uses waist ≥94 cm (men) or ≥80 cm (women) for Europids. Triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL and BP thresholds around ≥130/85 mmHg are typical cutoffs.

2. Step-by-step reasoning
- Examine each option against the established criteria for metabolic syndrome.
  a) Visceral fat mass → represents central obesity (increased waist circumference) and is a core component. So this is consistent with metabolic syndrome.
  b) High triglycerides → hypertriglyceridemia (≥150 mg/dL) is one of the diagnostic criteria. Consistent.
  c) Hypertension → elevated blood pressure is a diagnostic criterion (commonly ≥130/85 mmHg). Consistent.
  d) Waist circumference less than 60 cm → compare to criteria above: this is far below the required increased-waist thresholds.

3. Intermediate calculations/comparisons
- Compare waist cutoffs: ATP III female cutoff 88 cm versus option 60 cm → 88 − 60 = 28 cm below threshold. IDF female cutoff 80 cm → 80 − 60 = 20 cm below threshold. Either way, 60 cm is substantially below diagnostic cutoffs.

4. Why the correct answer is correct
- Metabolic syndrome requires increased waist circumference (central obesity). A waist circumference less than 60 cm indicates a very small waist and therefore is not associated with metabolic syndrome; it is the only option that contradicts the syndrome’s defining features.

5. Why the other options are incorrect as exceptions
- Visceral fat mass, high triglycerides, and hypertension are all established components or associated abnormalities of metabolic syndrome, so they are not exceptions.

6. Conclusion
- Therefore the exception is "Waist circumference less than 60 cm," which matches the provided correct answer.
