Association of microalbuminuria and high-normal 24-hour urinary albumin excretion with metabolic syndrome and its components in the general Chinese population: cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Microalbuminuria (MAU) has been described as a risk factor for metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the association between MetS components with MAU and 24-hour urinary albumin excretion (UAE) has not been clearly explained in the general Chinese population. We aimed to analyse the associations between MAU and high-normal 24-hour UAE with MetS and its components.

Design

Cross-sectional observational study.

Setting

Four selected counties/districts in China's Shandong and Jiangsu Provinces.

Participants

A total of 2261 participants aged 18-69 years were included in this study. Participants with missing physical examination data or incomplete urine collection were not included in the analysis.

Results

The prevalence of MAU was 9%, and the mean 24-h
