From: Low serum amylase in association with metabolic syndrome and diabetes: A community-based study
Changes over 5 years for NAMC-BMI and its components. A: NAMC-BMI, B: Proportion of elevated blood pressure, C: Proportion of high FPG, D: Proportion of dyslipidemia. The numbers of subjects in Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 are 144, 149, 157, and 121, respectively. NAMC-BMI and proportions of elevated blood pressure decreased significantly with increasing amylase quartile recorded 5 years ago (P = 0.02 and P = 0.006, ANOVA, respectively). No significant association was observed between prior quartiles of serum amylase and dyslipidemia and high FPG. NAMC: number of ATP-III-MetS components.
