Objective: To evaluate the relationship between serum adiponectin level and metabolic syndrome and to identify factors influencing adiponectin level. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed for a period of 2 years, employing 90 subjects including 60 type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients and 30 apparently normal individuals in Dept of Biochemistry RIMS in collaboration with Department of Medicine, RIMS Imphal. Metabolic syndrome was identified in both groups according to International Diabetes Federation Criteria (IDF).General characteristics,lipid parameters, HbA1c value were obtained for each subject. Results: In this first study of adiponectin value in the Manipuri population, the mean �SD value of adiponectin is 8.76 �2.38 �g/ ml in non metabolic group and is significantly decreased in metabolic syndrome individuals ,i.e 5.92 �1.13 �g/ml (p=0.000). Serum adiponectin level was correlated negatively with waist circumference, triglyceride, and positively with HDL-cholesterol level. Both sexes with the lowest adiponectin quartile had a higher prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome and its components than that with the highest quartile. Females have higher level of adiponectin which was independently predicted by waist circumference. A cut off value of hypoadiponectinemia (<7.425 �g/ml is proposed to predict future occurrence of metabolic syndrome in this ethnic population. Adiponectin reduce the risk of having metabolic syndome (0.405 times less chance, p<0.001) Conclusions: Hypoadiponectinemia is strongly associated with Metabolic Syndrome. Our results suggest that the level of adiponectin may act as predictor of metabolic syndrome.
