| description | The current research study with a cross-sectional design evaluated cardiovascular risk factors amongst three ethnic groups including Europeans, Indians and Iranians living in Western Australia. The results indicated that different components of metabolic syndrome including general and central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia and hypertension as well as serum biomarkers of hs-CRP, E-selectin and adiponectin are affected by ethnicity. These findings support the hypothesis that ethnicity plays a significant role in developing metabolic syndrome in populations. |
