In the present study, we examined whether lipid profiles (i.e., TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, non-HDL-C, T-C/HDL-C ratio, TG/HDL-C ratio, and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio) were associated with MetS-associated variables (i.e., MetS, HOMA-IR, and serum HMW adiponectin) in Japanese community-dwelling adults. Here, ADIPOQ is linked to metabolic syndrome.
