Metabolic syndrome (MetS) was defined as having three or more of the following conditions: obesity, raised blood pressure, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL cholesterolemia, and impaired fasting plasma glucose. Adjusted for the following parameters: age, current smoking status, and alcohol consumption

aInsulin resistance was defined as HOMA-IR ≥2.6
