Moreover, in model 2, with adjusting for demographic variables, there was a significant association between adiponectin and study groups (P<0.001), weight (P=0.004), waist circumference (P=0.008), BMI (P=0.001), FBS (P=0.001), TG (P=0.011), HDL (P=0.0042), number of MetS component (P<0.001), fat mass (P=0.01), fat free mass (P=0.01) and trunk fat (P=0.019). Here, ADIPOQ is linked to metabolic syndrome.
