  1. All the models were adjusted by gender (men compared with women), age (continuous), body mass index (continuous) and concentration of uric acid (continuous)
  2. *The unit of the exposures for the OR estimate was the presence or absence of Metabolic
  3. Syndrome or its components- abdominal obesity, high triglycerides and low HDL-C
