Figure 1

Synergistic effect of increased HOMA-IR (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance) and reduced serum HMW (high molecular weight) adiponectin. Mean accumulated number of the following MetS (metabolic syndrome) components: obesity, increased Blood pressure, impaired fasting glucose, dyslipidemia (hypertriglyceridemia or low high-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia). Study participants were divided into four groups (quartile) according to HOMA-IR and serum HMW adiponectin levels. Each quartile was calculated within sexes and then combined to eliminate any gender differences. Statistical significance was assessed by a general linear model for the following confounding factors: age, sex, BMI, smoking status, alcohol consumption, SBP, DBP, and eGFR.
