| Popis: | Background Despite the widespread obesity epidemic in the world, not all obese people are equally susceptible to the complications of obesity. Inflammatory factors play an important role in the complications of obesity. Objective This study aims to evaluate the association of White Blood Cell (WBC) count with metabolic syndrome in overweight/obese men and women. Methods This cross-sectional study is a part of the Qazvin Metabolic Disease Study (QMDS) conducted in 2010 in Qazvin, Iran. Participants were 622 obese people with a body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2, recruited from the QMDS. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test, t-test, and logistic regression analysis (to evaluate the relationship between WBC count quartiles and metabolic syndrome). Findings Prevalence of metabolic syndrome was not significantly different between men and women. In men, prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components were not different between WBC quartiles. In women, 32.2% and 60.5% had metabolic syndrome in the first and fourth quartiles of WBC count, respectively (P |
