Key result
Microalbuminuria is linked to a ~4-fold higher risk of metabolic syndrome in adults.
Why the study?
The prevalence of microalbuminuria and its association with metabolic syndrome and its components in Bangladeshi adults were not well characterized.
Cross-Sectional (n=175)
No
Odds Ratio: 4.38 (95% CI 1.88–6.99)
p-value: p=0.001
May aid risk stratification in similar groups; leaves open causality and requires prospective validation before practice change.

Saadi et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Metabolic syndrome (n=175). Microalbuminuria vs. Normoalbuminuria was evaluated on Metabolic syndrome (MetS) (OR 4.38, 95% CI 1.88-6.99, p=0.001). Microalbuminuria was strongly associated with metabolic syndrome in Bangladeshi adults (OR 4.38), with elevated blood pressure and fasting blood glucose being the most predominant components.
