25(OH)D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D; KNHANES, Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; r, correlation coefficient; WC, waist circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; TC, total cholesterol; HDL-C, HDL-cholesterol; WBC, white blood cell.
*P values were obtained by Pearson's correlation analyses.
†Log-transformation of TAG values was performed to calculate r and P value.
