Open, hatched, and closed columns represent the subjects with no, one, and two or more metabolic syndrome components except for waist criteria, respectively. Numbers of subjects in open, hatched, and closed columns were 95, 50, and 18, respectively. B. Serum levels of hs-CRP, IL-6, and adiponectin in abdominal obesity group. Columns represent same as described in A. Numbers of subjects in open, hatched, and closed columns were 57, 57, and 49, respectively. Data are mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. no metabolic syndrome component (open columns). hs-CRP: high sensitive C-reactive protein; IL-6: interleukin-6; MetS: metabolic syndrome.
