Reticulocyte-related indices, such as reticulocyte count (RET#), reticulocyte percentage (RET%), low/medium/high fluorescence reticulocytes (LFR, MFR, HFR), reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (RET-HE), immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF), and reticulocyte production indices (RPI), were analyzed for their associations with MetS. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using multivariable logistic regression.
