MetS was positively associated with 19 traits, including 14 blood pressure indices (right upper arm DBP, right ankle DBP, right ankle MBP, right ankle SBP, left upper arm DBP, left upper arm MBP, left ankle DBP, left ankle MBP, sitting DBP, sitting SBP, sitting cSBP, standing 1-min DBP, standing 1-min SBP, standing 3-min DBP), triglycerides, two hematological traits (hemoglobin and red blood cell count) and two liver indicators (alanine aminotransferase and cholinesterase) (Table 2, Supplementary Table S4 online). Here, GPT is linked to metabolic syndrome.
