In simple regression analyses, Lp-PLA2 activity correlated positively with age (r = 0.250, P = 0.006), total cholesterol (r = 0.371, P = 0.000), LDL-cholesterol (r = 0.402, P = 0.000), glucose (r = 0.188, P = 0.042) and HbA1c (r = 0.188, P = 0.042) in the patients with MetS. Here, PLA2G7 is linked to metabolic syndrome.
