Levels of Vitamin E, Vit E/Total Cho, Vit E/ (TG + Total Cho) and Total Cholesterol in subjects with the different numbers of the metabolic syndrome features

	Number of metabolic syndrome components
Variable	Zero component	One or Two components	More than Three components	P-value
Vit E(µg/dL)	3.11 (11.27)	3.11 (20.53)	2.11 (5.14)	0.23
Vit E/TC(µmol/mmol)	0.08 (0.35)	0.09 (0.47)	0.04 (0.17)	0.12
Vit E/TC+TG(µmol/mmol)	0.04 (0.21)	0.05 (0.32)	0.02 (0.10)	0.01
Total Cholesterol (mg/dL)	197.68 (37.84)a	186.33 (36.56)	198 (39.27)b	<0.001

Values are presented as median (IQR) and mean±SD. TC, Total Cholesterol; TG, Triglyceride. Kruskal-wallis test was used. a and b show significant difference between one and two component groups with zero and More than Three components, respectively.
