In general, the mean ± SD is reported.

a

Level of significance that compares patients with MetS to patients without MetS.

b

Level of significance that compares patients with p-MetS to patients without p-MetS.

c

Level of significance that compares patients with MetS to patients without p-MetS.

IQR, interquartile range; LDL, low-density lipoprotein.
