Data are presented as estimated β-coefficients with 95% confidence intervals.

Models were run separately for each outcome and race, and are adjusted for age, menopausal status, hormonal therapy use, smoking status, family history of heart disease, and anti-lipemic medication use

Abbreviations: MetS – metabolic syndrome
