UIC, urinary iodine concentration; MetS, metabolic syndromes; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; TG, triglyceride.

MetS.Diabetes, History of diabetes, Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) > 6.5%, fasting glucose (mmol/L) ≥ 7.0, or medication used to treat diabetes;

MetS.obesity, Waist Circumference (WC) ≥ 102 cm in men or ≥ 88 cm in women;

MetS.hypertension, blood pressure ≥ 130/85 mmHg or hypertension history or treatment with antihypertensive medication;

MetS.low-HDL-C, HDL-C < 40 mg/dL for men and < 50 mg/dL for women or use of anti-lipid abnormalities;

MetS.TG, TG ≥ 150 mg/dL or pharmacological treatment of TG.

Data are expressed as weighted percentages. OR and 95% CI for risk of metabolic syndrome and its components were estimated using complex samples logistic regression. * represents p < 0.05.

Normal UIC: < 100ug/L; Low UIC: 100-299ug/L; High UIC: 300-399ug/L; Very high UIC: ≥ 400ug/L.

Crude Model: not adjusted;

Model 1: Adjusted for age, sex;

Model 2: Adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, the annual family income, smoking status, alcohol intake, physical activity,

Model 3: Adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, the annual family income, smoking status, alcohol intake, physical activity, thyroid problems, cancer, energy intake, fish or shellfish intake, sodium intake, eGFR, TSH, and FT4.
