Conclusions: The lipid parameters TC, LDL-C and TC: HDL-C above 203 mg/dL, 139 mg/dL and 3.9 respectively were risk factors. Among anthropometric measures, BMI>25 kg/m2 showed the highest risk while elevated W:H and MUC were also significant risk factors among the study group. PMID: 30255702 [PubMed - in process]
