Association of the platelet-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (PHR) with metabolic syndrome and metabolic overweight/obesity phenotypes: A study based on the Dryad database.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are major global public health challenges. The platelet-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (PHR) has emerged as a potential biomarker reflecting both inflammatory status and lipid metabolism; however, its association with MetS and metabolic overweight/obesity phenotypes is not well understood. The present study aims to investigate the...
