Abstract
Serum (XO) activity was significantly higher in females (6.17 ± 3.77 U/L) compared to males (4.00 ± 2.77 U/L) (p < 0.001).
- Participants with (MetS) had significantly higher mean serum XO levels (5.34 ± 3.39 U/L) than those without MetS (3.86 ± 2.90 U/L) (p < 0.001).
- The prevalence of MetS and its components, such as blood pressure and blood glucose, increased across the XO quartiles (p < 0.001).
- Regression analysis indicated that XO activity was significantly and independently associated with the prevalence of MetS (at least p < 0.05 for all cases).
- XO activity was also associated with components of MetS, including elevated blood pressure, high blood glucose, and low HDL cholesterol (at least p < 0.05 for all cases).
- Findings suggest that serum XO may serve as a useful marker of MetS.
