Obesity was defined as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. High total cholesterol was defined as total cholesterol ≥ 5.1 mmol/L. Low HDL was defined as HDL ≤ 1.4 mmol/L.

a After adjusting for age, χ2 (5, 260) = 10.303, P = 0.05, Cox and Snell R square = 0.039, Nagelkerke R squared = 0.075, able to classify 88.1% of the cases.

b After adjusting for age, χ2 (5, 260) = 7.47, P = 0.188, Cox and Snell R square = 0.028, Nagelkerke R squared = 0.039, able to classify 63.1% of the cases.

c After adjusting for age, χ2 (5, 260) = 13.824, P = 0.017, Cox and Snell R square = 0.052, Nagelkerke R squared = 0.076, able to classify 73.5% of the cases.

d After adjusting for age, χ2 (5, 260) = 8.891, P < 0.001, Cox and Snell R square = 0.34, Nagelkerke R squared = 0.58, able to classify 84.6% of the cases.
