Table 4.
Model 2, adjusted risks for metabolic syndrome (MetS) using MetS-component count as potential risk factors
| Baseline potential risk factors | Adjusted-OR* | 95%CI | p |
|---|---|---|---|
| MetS component count | |||
| Adults having a single MetS component | 2.8 | 1.6 - 4.7 | <0.01 |
| Adults having two MetS components | 7.3 | 4.3 - 12.6 | <0.01 |
| Hyperuricemia | 1.0 | 0.6 - 1.6 | 0.99 |
| Sonographic fatty liver | 2.4 | 1.6 - 3.6 | <0.01 |
| Elevated alanine aminotransferase | 1.3 | 0.8 - 2.1 | 0.37 |
| Elevated γ-glutamyl transferase | 2.0 | 1.2 - 3.1 | <0.01 |
| Hyperinsulinemia | 1.8 | 1.2 - 2.6 | <0.01 |
* Adjusted variables were age and categorical variables including gender, smoking, diet habits, drinking, exercise status, liver enzymes, sonographic fatty liver, hepatovirus infections, hyperinsulinemia and hyperuricemia.
