|---|---|---|---|---|
| Central obesity | 4.70 (4.04–5.46) | 1.57 (1.29–1.9) | 2.18 (1.85–2.56) | 1.85 (1.58–2.17) |

| Dyslipidemia | 2.71 (2.32–3.15) | 1.85 (1.51–2.26) | ||
| Dysglycemia | 2.98 (2.49–3.55) |
Data is presented as odds ratios (95% CI). Multivariate models adjusted for age and gender only. For each risk factor, the reference groups were those without that risk factor
