Relations of Macular Variability with Anthropometric Measurements, Metabolic Parameters and Inflammatory Markers in Children and Adolescents with Metabolic Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study
Conclusion: This is the first study to show that mean MRT and MRV values decrease as body mass index standard deviation scores (BMI-SDS) and waist circumference standard deviation scores (WC-SDS) increase in obese children and adolescents with MetS. NLR and SIII may be a marker of chronic inflammation in obese children with MetS and are associated with macular damage.
