Fig.1From: The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) positively correlates with the presence and severity of metabolic syndrome in obese adults, but not in obese children/adolescentsNLR increases in MetS+ obese adults compared with MetS+ obese children/adolescents. Dot plots represent the NLR values in children/adolescents (red) and adults (black) both with metabolic syndrome. The NLR difference in the two populations was calculated using the non-parametric Mann–Whitney U test. **** = P-value < 0.0001Back to article page
