Abstract

Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), a constellation of major cardiovascular risk factors, is highly prevalent in mental illness, thereby increasing morbidity and mortality.

We now hypothesized that, in the Old Order Amish, a relatively homogeneous population, nitrite levels will be higher in obesity and MetS.
