Predictive role of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in metabolic syndrome: Meta-analysis of 70,937 individuals.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been shown to be an independent predictor for cardiovascular diseases and metabolic diseases. The role of NLR in metabolic syndrome (MS) has also been explored albeit with conflicting results. The objective of this study was to assess the predictive role of NLR in MS.

Methods

We conducted a meta-analysis of observational studies to evaluate the predictive role of NLR in MS. Cochrane library, PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Scopus were systematically searched from their inception to December 2023. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines was followed. The statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. A randomeffect model was used.

Results

Twenty six studies
