Data are presented as mean ± SD.
The model was adjusted for age (year), dietary total calories intake (kcal/day), and PA. Waist circumference was excluded as a criterion in the definition of MS.
*P < 0.01 when compared with the metabolically healthy and normal weight subjects. Pairwise comparisons were adjusted for the Bonferroni correction.
