From: Ferritin levels and risk of metabolic syndrome: meta-analysis of observational studies
Meta-analysis of the association of ferritin levels with metabolic syndrome in observational studies. Studies are divided by gender (men, women and both genders). Odds ratios correspond to comparisons of extreme categories of exposure within each study. The area of each square is proportional to the inverse of the variance of the log odds ratio. Horizontal lines represent 95% CI. Diamonds represent pooled estimates from inverse-variance weighted random-effects models. NR, not reported.
