The inclusion criterion for variables was 0.05 and the exclusion criterion was 0.10.

The probability of having one or more risk factors was set as a dependent variable, and the confounding factors such as gender, age, waist-hip ratio (WHR), body mass index (BMI), percent body fat (PBF), BMI*PBF, smoking, drinking, exercise, and family history were set as independent variables. BMI*PBF represented the interaction between PBF and BMI in terms of association with cardiovascular risk factors.

The probability of having hypertension was set as a dependent variable, and gender, age, WHR, BMI, PBF, BMI*PBF, smoking, drinking, exercise, family history, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia were set as independent variables.

§

The probability of having dyslipidemia was set as a dependent variable, and gender, age, WHR, BMI, PBF, BMI*PBF, smoking, drinking, exercise, family history, hypertension and hyperglycemia were set as independent variables.

The probability of having hyperglycemia was set as a dependent variable, and gender, age, WHR, BMI, PBF, BMI*PBF, smoking, drinking, exercise, family history, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were set as independent variables. 95%CI = 95% confidence interval.
