  1. Results expressed as odds ratios (95% CI) for the number of MetS components from logistic regression analysis. Sample size of each group of MetS components score is as follows: ≤1, n = 62; 2, n = 156; 3, n = 130; ≥4, n = 104. Abbreviations: MetS Metabolic Syndrome, sTWEAK soluble TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis.
  2. Crude model: unadjusted; Model 1: Adjusted for gender and age: Model 2: Additionally adjusted for family history of diabetes and premature CHD (yes/no), educational level (primary education vs secondary/higher education), alcohol intake (g alcohol/d), smoking (current/not-current), physical activity (sedentary vs active) and eGFR.
