*
Final model included three-way interaction among MetS, gender, and ethnicity (interaction p-value = 0.0495); model R2 = 0.321. Intercept 5.44 (95% CI 5.22–5.67).
**
Highest among household (person who owns/rents house or his/her spouse), values indicate differences from “more than high school” category
