Values are age- and gender-adjusted Spearman correlation coefficients and values for correlations of adiponectin, HOMA-IR, and A/H ratio with risk factors of MetS.
BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; TG, triglyceride; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; FBG, fasting blood glucose; HOMA-IR, homeostasis assessment-insulin resistance; A/H ratio, adiponectin to homeostasis assessment-insulin resistance; MetS, metabolic syndrome.
