Abstract
Background
This study aims to evaluate the association between SII and the prevalence of MetS in the female population of the United States, utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013–2018.
Methods
The study analyzed data from 6140 participants. The association between SII and MetS was investigated using both univariate and multivariable analyses. Additionally, the relationship between SII and all-cause as well as cardiovascular mortality was assessed through Cox proportional hazards regression models.
Results
MetS was prevalent in 37.52% of the study population. Participants diagnosed with MetS showed higher SII scores compared to those without MetS. There was a nonlinear “J”-shaped dose-response relationship between increased SII levels and increased all-cause mortality in the MetS population. The same trend of relationship between SII levels and cardiovascular mortality was observed in people aged 60-years and older in the MetS population.
Conclusion
The results of this study suggest that there is a significant association between elevated SII and the presence of MetS, and that systemic inflammation indicated by SII may contribute to the development and progression of MetS and its associated complications. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms between SII and MetS and to evaluate the clinical utility of SII in risk stratification and management strategies.
