*Metabolic syndrome components are defined as follows: high blood pressure: systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥85 mmHg or taking antihypertensive mediation; high waist circumference: ≥102 cm if male or ≥88 cm if female; low HDL cholesterol: <40 mg/dl if male or <50 mg/dl if female; high triglycerides: ≥150 mg/dl; high fasting glucose: ≥100 mg/dl.
†Model 2 adjusted for study site, age, sex, race/ethnicity, energy intake education, physical activity, smoking status, pack-years, and weekly supplement use or more.
