Metabolic syndrome	Yes (n;128)	No (n;235)	p-value	OR (CI 95%)	p-value	OR (CI 95%)	p-value

Values are expressed as Median (IQR) for non-normally distributed variables. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the Association between serum Vit E indices and Met. Model 1 presented before adjusting for confounder factors and model 2 presented after adjusting for confounder factors (sex, age and smoking).
