Mean ± SD for continuous variables: p values were calculated using weighted Student’s t-tests. For categorical variables, n (%), p values were calculated using weighted Chi-square tests. PIR, poverty-to-income ratio; BMI, body mass index; WHtR, waist-to-height ratio; LCD score, low-carbohydrate-diet score; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
