Relationship between Epicardial Fat Tissue Thickness and CRP and Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio in Metabolic Syndrome Patients Over 65 Years.

Objective: There are no data evaluating the association of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) with epicardial fat tissue thickness (EFTT) in elderly metabolic syndrome (MS) patients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship of EFTT with CRP and NLR in patients with MS over 65 years.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed.
