Association of microalbuminuria with MetS and its components

MetS component	Adjusted OR (95% Cl)	P-value
Elevated FBG	2.70 (1.58–3.87)	0.001
Large WC	1.78 (0.66–3.84)	0.420
Elevate BP	3.25 (2.30–4.22)	0.001
Elevated TG	1.96 (0.88–3.12)	0.068
Reduced HDL-C	1.76 (0.60–3.56)	0.328
MetS	4.38 (1.88–6.99)	0.001

FBG fasting blood glucose, WC waist circumference, BP blood pressure, TG triglyceride, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, MetS metabolic syndrome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association of microalbuminuria with MetS and its components. The model has been adjusted for sex, age and BMI, and additionally for other components of the metabolic syndrome. OR odd ratio, CI confidence interval
