The crucial role of hypertension in determining latent classes of metabolic syndrome in northern Iran and predictive power of these classes in non-alcoholic fatty liver: a gender-based insight
The latent class analysis in northern Iran identified three Mets classes: HTN, Non-HTN, and low-risk, with hypertension playing a crucial role in determining these classes. These classes were stronger predictors of NAFLD in women. Serum CRP and vitamin D levels did not emerge as significant predictors of the classes, except for serum CRP in the HTN class among women.
