Key result
Microalbuminuria was strongly associated with metabolic syndrome, with odds ratios of 1.76 (95% CI 1.16-2.67) in men and 2.19 (95% CI 1.38-3.50) in women using the AHA/NHLBI definition.

Is microalbuminuria associated with metabolic syndrome in adults aged 40 years and older?
Odds Ratio: 1.76 (95% CI 1.16–2.67)
Microalbuminuria is strongly associated with the presence of metabolic syndrome and its components in adults aged 40 and older, highlighting its potential utility as a marker for cardiometabolic risk.
Microalbuminuria may flag cardiometabolic risk in adults ≥40; leaves open incremental prognostic value in prospective cohorts.

Lin et al. (2007) conducted a cross-sectional in Metabolic syndrome (n=2,311). Microalbuminuria vs. Normoalbuminuria was evaluated on Metabolic syndrome (AHA/NHLBI definition) in men (OR 1.76, 95% CI 1.16-2.67). Microalbuminuria was strongly associated with metabolic syndrome, with odds ratios of 1.76 (95% CI 1.16-2.67) in men and 2.19 (95% CI 1.38-3.50) in women using the AHA/NHLBI definition.
