objective the association between lipoprotein (a)[lp(a)] levels and metabolic syndrome (mets) remains uncertain, especially in the asian population. the purpose of this study was to demonstrate the association between lp(a) levels and mets in a middle-aged and elderly chinese cohort. methods a cross-sectional study of 10, 336 chinese adults aged 40 years or older was conducted in jiading district, shanghai, china. logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between serum lp(a) levels and mets. results in the overall population, 37.5% of participants had mets. compared with individuals in the lowest quartile of serum lp(a) levels, those in the highest quartile had a lower prevalence of mets (30.9% vs. 46.9%, p for trend < 0.0001). multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that compared with participants in the bottom quartile of serum lp(a) levels, those in the top quartile had decreased odds ratio (or) for prevalent mets[multivariate-adjusted or 0.45 (95% confidence interval 0.39-0.51); p < 0.0001]. additionally, lp(a) level was conversely associated with the risk of central obesity, high fasting glucose, high triglycerides, and low hdl cholesterol, but not with hypertension. stratified analyses suggested that increasing levels of lp(a) was associated with decreased risk of mets in all the subgroups. conclusion serum lp(a) level was inversely associated with the risk of prevalent mets in a middle-aged and elderly chinese cohort.
