A significantly increased prevalence of MetS was observed for higher CRP (OR = 1.66; 95% CI: 1.26 to 2.18), as well as for four out of five MetS components as follows (Table 3): waist component (OR = 1.91; 95% CI: 1.36 to 2.66); HDL component (OR = 1.64; 95% CI: 1.27 to 2.11); triglycerides component (OR = 1.44; 95% CI: 1.12 to 1.85) and glucose component (OR = 1.73; 95% CI: 1.34 to 2.24). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and metabolic syndrome.
