Kidney stones are associated with metabolic syndrome in a health screening population: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In parallel with the rise in obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS), kidney stones are becoming more common. In this study, the relationship between MetS components and kidney stones in a health screening population was examined.

Methods

Subjects who underwent health checkups in the Health Promotion Centre of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital of Zhejiang University between January 2017 and December 2019 were recruited for this study. In this cross-sectional study, 74,326 participants were aged 18 or older. MetS diagnostic criteria were based on the joint statement of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and other associations on MetS in 2009. The association between MetS and its components with kidney stones was examined using multivariable logistic regression.
