Association of Oxidative Balance Score with the Metabolic Syndrome in a Sample of Iranian Adults

Table 2

Biochemical variables of the study participants across tertiles of the oxidative balance score.

	T1		T2		T3		value
	Mean	SD	Mean	SD	Mean	SD
Fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL)	108.0	36.5	111.0	38.6	105.0	57.7	0.51
Total cholesterol (mg/dL)	192.0	48.3	200.0	43.1	195.0	42.1	0.44
HDL-C (mg/dL)	32.3	25.9	35.1	23.8	36.0	24.5	0.08
Triglyceride (mg/dL)	144.0	77.1	149	81.8	141.0	79.2	0.64
Triglyceride/HDL ratio	23.5	66.9	12.8	47.9	15.5	56.8	0.17

Abbreviations: HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; T: tertile. The one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of variables among tertiles of the oxidative balance score. was statistically significant.
