Metabolic syndrome and coronary artery stenosis: an adjusted analysis by age, sex, and smoking

Abstract

This study analyzed data from 188 patients who underwent angiography to assess the presence of metabolic syndrome. Diagnosis was based on established criteria, including central obesity, hypertension, low level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and elevated triglyceride levels, with the presence of three or more parameters confirming metabolic syndrome. The ataset was further examined in relation to coronary artery stenosis, sex, age, and smoking habits to derive clinically meaningful conclusions regarding risk factors and associations.
