Population

Implication

Adiponectin may stratify MetS risk in Chinese adults; cross-sectional data leave open causality and any role in screening or prevention.

Structured PICO

P
Population
3,193 middle-aged and elderly Chinese subjects aged 50-70 from urban and rural areas of Beijing (northern China) and Shanghai (southern China).
I
Intervention
Lowest quartile of plasma adiponectin levels
C
Comparator
Higher quartiles of plasma adiponectin levels
O
Outcome
Presence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) identified with the updated National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria

Lower plasma adiponectin levels are independently associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome in middle-aged and elderly Chinese populations, with notable regional and urban-rural differences in susceptibility.
