CAP, controlled attenuation parameter; MET, metabolic equivalents; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; HC, hip circumference, WHR, waist circumference to hip circumference ratio, WHtR, waist to height ratio; TLR, trunk to leg fat ratio, METS-VF, metabolic score for visceral fat; VAT, visceral adiposity tissue; E-DII, energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index.

a

Data were presented as mean (SD) except for gender and smoking status which (%) were given.

b

DII score of individuals in first tertile was less than (−3.11), second tertile was between (−3.11) and (−2.49), third tertile was more than (−2.49).

P values were obtained from Kruskal-Wallis test, chi-square test and one-way ANOVA.
