Gender-specific association between circulating serum Klotho and metabolic components in adults
Klotho levels had gender disparities regardless of age, renal function, and sex hormones. In the current cohort, triglycerides were the major component of MetS that was independently associated with serum Klotho levels, and the association was particularly seen in women. However, HDL was found to be the male-specific MetS component independently associated with Klotho.
