Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of health problems that places individuals at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes and stroke. The prevalence of MetS is increasing worldwide. It is also well accepted that genetic and environmental factors play significant roles in the occurrence/development of MetS, but studies exploring genetic factors are still lacking. Here, we aimed to investigate the association of ADIPOQ gene variants with MetS in an elderly Chinese Han population.
