Abstract
Background: Unexplained hepatic iron overload with increased serum ferritin (SF) values has been associated with the insulin resistance syndrome (IRS), defined by the presence of increased body mass index (BMI), diabetes, hyperlipidemia or hypertension. In previous studies, the prevalence of IRS in patients with unexplained hepatic iron overload was found to be up to 95%. However, the association between IRS and SF in a representative population has not been investigated so far.
