Association of Platelet-to-HDL Cholesterol Ratio with Metabolic Syndrome in a Japanese Health Check-up Population

Key Result

The platelet-to-HDL cholesterol ratio is independently associated with metabolic syndrome and its components, serving as a modest supplementary risk marker in a Japanese population.

Key Points

• Investigate the association between platelet-to-HDL cholesterol ratio and metabolic syndrome in a Japanese population.
• Conducted a health check-up among Japanese participants
• Analyzed the relationship between platelet-to-HDL cholesterol ratio and metabolic syndrome components
• Evaluated the performance of platelet-to-HDL cholesterol ratio as a marker for metabolic risks.
• Platelet-to-HDL cholesterol ratio is independently associated with metabolic syndrome
• Discriminatory performance of PHR for identifying metabolic disorders is modest
• PHR may be useful as a supplementary marker in health screening settings.
