HDL-C, HDL-cholesterol; BP, blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; %BF, percentage body fat.

All logistic regression models adjusted for covariates: age, menopausal status, smoking status, drinking status, occupational physical activity and leisure-time physical activity.

The Z-score of each adiposity measurements was calculated as (observed value – sample mean)/sd.
