Table 4

Metabolic syndrome and its individual components according to SDC3 polymorphism (rs2282440) genotypes.

	C/C	C/T	T/T
	MetS, n (%)	31 (26.1)	72 (24.5)		51 (38.6)	0.0217
Large WC, n (%)	52 (43.7)	130 (44.2)	77 (58.3)	0.0325
High TG, n (%)	33 (27.7)	75 (25.5)	42 (31.8)	0.5251
Low HDL-C, n (%)	25 (21.0)	74 (25.2)	44 (33.3)	0.0946
High BP, n (%)	49 (41.2)	104 (35.4)	66 (50.0)	0.0305
High FPG, n (%)	27 (22.7)	55 (18.7)	30 (22.7)	0.5579

values were calculated by using the Proc CATMOD test for categorical variables after adjustment for sex. MetS: metabolic syndrome; WC: waist circumference; TG: triglyceride; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; BP: blood pressure; FPG: fasting plasma glucose.
