Table V.

Peripheral hemodynamic measurements of peripheral arterial disease patients with either three, four, or five components of metabolic syndrome (MS).

Variables	3 MS Components	4 MS Components	5 MS Components	Group Difference (p value)	Predictors (P Value)
Calf Blood Flow: Rest (%/min)	3.73 (1.61)	3.68 (1.52)	3.57 (1.30)	0.068	None
Calf Blood Flow: Hyperemia (%/min)	8.94 (3.71)	8.82 (4.27)	8.24 (4.00)	0.589	None
Change in Calf Blood Flow from Rest to Hyperemia (%)	180 (153)	137 (111)	129 (108) ^*	0.043	EFG (0.021)
Calf TcPO₂ Rest (mmHg)	38 (19)	38 (17)	33 (15)	0.082	None
Calf TcPO₂ Hyperemia (mmHg)	24 (20)	20 (16)	17 (16)	0.087	None
Change in Calf TcPO₂ from Rest to Hyperemia (%)	−37 (38)	−47 (42)	−48 (52) ^*	0.043	EFG (0.019) AO (0.047)

Values are adjusted for age, ankle/brachial index, body mass index, current smoking, duration of intermittent claudication, obesity, race, sex and weight, and are presented as means (SD).

AO = abdominal obesity, EFG = fasting glucose.

Different than 3 MS Component group (p < 0.05) using Tukey test.
