Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between fetuin-A levels and key components of metabolic syndrome (abdominal obesity, arterial hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) as well as other cardiovascular risk markers, including metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), and the Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR). This evidence concerns the gene AHSG and hypertriglyceridemia.
