Data on sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were collected using semistructured questionnaires. Anthropometric and blood pressure measurements were performed. Fasting blood samples were obtained to measure glucose, lipid profile and haemoglobin (Hb) levels. MetS was defined using the harmonized criteria, and anaemia was defined according to WHO gender\u2010specific cut\u2010offs. Logistic regression models were utilized to determine factors associated with anaemia alone and anaemia\u2013MetS comorbidity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 193 participants were enrolled (61.7% female). The prevalence of MetS was 64.8% (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009125), while anaemia prevalence was 23.8% (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200946). Anaemia\u2013MetS comorbidity was observed in 33 participants (17.1%). Anaemia with elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG) was the most frequent combination (23.8%). In the multivariable analysis, female sex was significantly associated with higher odds of anaemia\u2013MetS comorbidity in the sociodemographic model (OR\u2009=\u20093.51; 95% CI: 1.34\u201310.31), but this association was attenuated after full adjustment. Current alcohol consumption was independently associated with substantially reduced odds of anaemia\u2013MetS comorbidity in the fully adjusted models (OR\u2009=\u20090.10; 95% CI: 0.01\u20130.54).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Anaemia\u2013MetS comorbidity was common among patients with T2DM.
