Abstract
Background: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is characterized by the co-occurrence of various metabolic risk factors, significantly increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This study investigates the potential of hematological indices, specifically the neutrophil to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHR) and lymphocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (LHR), as predictors of MetS in a population from southern Iran.
Methods: Utilizing baseline data from the Bandare-Kong Non-Communicable Diseases (BKNCD) Cohort, part of the Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in IrAN (PERSIAN), A total of 2,684 participants aged 35-70 years were analyzed. Participants were evaluated using the Iranian National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) criteria to diagnose MetS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was conducted to assess the predictive validity of NHR and LHR across different demographic categories.
Results: The mean LHR and NHR values were significantly higher in individuals diagnosed with MetS (P < 0.001). Specifically, the LHR was 0.85 ± 0.26 in MetS patients compared to 0.76 ± 0.23 in those without MetS, while the NHR was 1.33 ± 0.35 in MetS patients compared to 1.20 ± 0.32 in those without MetS. After adjusting for confounding factors, both LHR and NHR remained significantly associated with MetS, with odds ratios (OR) of 6.61 (95% CI: 4.43-9.83) for LHR and 4.76 (95% CI: 3.51-6.45) for NHR. Among MetS components, LHR was associated with low HDL cholesterol and elevated triglycerides, while NHR showed significant associations with central obesity, low HDL cholesterol, and elevated triglycerides. ROC analysis revealed moderate predictive capabilities for both indices, with areas under the curve of 0.60 for LHR and 0.61 for NHR.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that NHR and LHR are promising, easily obtainable hematological markers for predicting MetS. These indices could serve as valuable tools for early detection and ongoing monitoring in clinical settings, aiding in the prevention and management of MetS.
期刊介绍：
Lipids in Health and Disease is an open access, peer-reviewed, journal that publishes articles on all aspects of lipids: their biochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, role in health and disease, and the synthesis of new lipid compounds.
Lipids in Health and Disease is aimed at all scientists, health professionals and physicians interested in the area of lipids. Lipids are defined here in their broadest sense, to include: cholesterol, essential fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, phospholipids, inositol lipids, second messenger lipids, enzymes and synthetic machinery that is involved in the metabolism of various lipids in the cells and tissues, and also various aspects of lipid transport, etc. In addition, the journal also publishes research that investigates and defines the role of lipids in various physiological processes, pathology and disease. In particular, the journal aims to bridge the gap between the bench and the clinic by publishing articles that are particularly relevant to human diseases and the role of lipids in the management of various diseases.
