Significant associations of the corresponding top 75% quartile to MetS were identified for monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP1, OR = 2.19), C-reactive protein (CRP, OR = 1.89), interleukin-6 (IL6, OR = 2.11), sICAM1 (OR = 1.61), and fibrinogen (OR = 1.86). Here, IL6 is linked to metabolic syndrome.
