Özet

Background: This study investigated whether serum homocysteine (Hcy) level is associated with metabolic syndrome components, including high waist circumference ( WC), hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP), and insulin resistance (IR) in adolescents living in Central Anatolia, Turkey.
