^a Adjusted for age, smoking status, and physical activity level.

^b Concordance statistics from identical models for BMI and WC

^c High TC:HDL cholesterol and TG defined as the highest quartile, with quartiles 1-3 serving as reference group.

^d WC and BMI treated as standardized continuous variables.

WC - Waist circumference (cm)

TG - Triglycerides (mmol/L).
