Model 1: crude. Model 2: adjusted for age and sex. Model 3: Model 2 + further adjusted for educational level, marital status, and history of premature CVD. Global cardiovascular health status defined according to the number of ideal metrics: 0–2 (poor), 3–4 (intermediate), and 5–6 (ideal). Low TG (<150 mg/dL); High TG (≥150 mg/dL); Low HDL cholesterol (<50 mg/dL in women and <40 mg/dL in men); High HDL cholesterol (≥50 mg/dL in women and ≥40 mg/dL in men); non‐abdominal obesity (WC < 95 cm); abdominal obesity (WC ≥ 95 cm); insulin resistance (HOMA‐IR >1.85 in women and >2.17 men).

Data were included for 3,433 participants.

HDL‐C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; MetS, metabolic syndrome; TG, triglyceride.
