CETP and metabolic syndrome: As demonstrated in Table 2 for the CETP rs820299 SNP, there was an indication of an increased MetS risk among the MetS and non-MetS subjects after adjustment of covariates such as age, gender, smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity for genetic models, including the recessive model (OR = 1.47; 95% CI = 1.16–1.86; P = 0.0015) and additive model (OR = 1.17; 95% CI = 1.02–1.34; P = 0.0211).
