<h4>Aim</h4>To determine the optimal cut-off value of serum total adiponectin for managing the risk of developing metabolic syndrome (MetS) in male Japanese workers.<h4>Methods</h4>A total of 365 subjects without MetS aged 20-60 years were followed up prospectively for a mean of 3.1 years. The accelerated failure-time model was used to estimate time ratio (TR) and cut-off value for developing MetS.<h4>Results</h4>During follow-up, 45 subjects developed MetS. Age-adjusted TR significantly decline ...[more]
