Relative monocyte count is associated with metabolic syndrome and other cardiometabolic risk markers in subjects at Secondary Health Care: a cross-sectional study
Authors' conclusion
The lower RMC tertile was associated with higher odds of cardiometabolic disorders in subjects at secondary prevention.
Study context
- Population
- Subjects at Secondary Health Care (secondary prevention)
- Participants
- 687 subjects
- Exposure
- First vs third tertile of relative monocyte count
- Outcome
- Cardiometabolic risk markers (obesity, metabolic syndrome, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, HbA1c, waist-hypertriglyceridemic phenotype, adiposity and lipid indices)
