BP blood pressure, CRP C-reactive protein, CI confidence interval, HDL high density lipoprotein, MetS metabolic syndrome, OR odds ratio.

* Adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, alcohol use, education level, history of cardiovascular disease or stroke and CRP (except for analyses on the High CRP).

^† Additionally adjusted for the other components of MetS.

^‡ Compared with those without MetS (<3 components).
