%FM: percent body fat mass; BMI: body mass index; WHR: waist-to-hip ratio; WC: waist circumference.
a: The cutoff values for %FM: ≥29.6 in men and ≥40.1 in women; for BMI: ≥24; for WHR: ≥0.9 in men and ≥0.85 in women; for WC: ≥90 cm in men and ≥80 in women.
§: Logistic regression adjusted for age, smoking, alcohol drinking and betel nut chewing.
&: Logistic regression adjusted for age, smoking, alcohol drinking, betel nut chewing, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension and low HDL cholesterol.
f: per 1-SD increment.
