*p < 0.001 by χ2 test; a: data are presented as n (%); b:Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Scheffe's post hoc comparisons, each pair of digits represented that two groups' post hoc comparison was statistically significant at α = 0.0036

: Statistics were tested using the log-transformed values.

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; CRP, C-reactive protein;
