- - This study investigated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Spanish patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and its relationship with disease characteristics, cardiovascular risk, and dietary habits.
- - Out of 293 patients (mostly women), 15% were found to have MetS, with significant increases in triglycerides, cholesterol, blood pressure, and waist circumference in this group compared to those without MetS.
- - The results indicated that while the prevalence of MetS was lower than previously reported, it was still linked to greater disease-related damage and higher complement C3 levels, but not associated with the level of dietary adherence to the Mediterranean Diet.
