Abstract

Background:Several researches have shown that the risk of cardiovascular disease could be elevated by the metabolic syndrome and increased WBC counts have been associated with obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia :.,d impaired glucose tolerance, different components of metabolic syndrome (MS). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the association of WBC counts with components and clustered features of MS.
Methods:A total of 1800 subjects visited the health promotion survey of un university hospital from March 2005 to February 2006, we excluded those who did not have records of physical parameters or blood test results or those who did not complete the questionnaire. We also excluded acutely ill patients. They were evaluated and divided according to their WBC counts. Age, sex, body mass index(BMI), blood pressure(BP), fasting glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) were compared with WBC counts, Among the subjects, Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between WBC counts and features of the MS, with an adjustment for age, sex.
Results:The relative risks for obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, low HDL cholesterol levels and
hypertriglyceridemia compared with WBC counts ( 4 . 6 ~ 1 0c~e llslcll, increased as much as WBC counts increased. The relative risks for the presence of result as 21, 22, 23, 2 4 features of the MS also increased as much WBC counts increased.
Conclusions:An increased, albeit normal, WBC counts associates with the different components and clustered feature of MS.
