  • Crude model: without adjustment.

  • *Model 1: adjusted for age, sex.

  • †Model 2 for general obesity, MetS, abdominal obesity, high FBG, high TG, high BP, low HDL-C: adjusted as model 1 plus education levels (>14 and ≤14 years), smoking (never smoked, ex-smoker and current smoker), physical activity, baseline body mass index and energy intake.

  • BP, blood pressure; FBG, fasting blood glucose; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; MetS, metabolic syndrome; TG, triglyceride.
