BMI (kg/m2): body mass index, WC (cm): waist circumference.

BP: blood pressure, HTN: hypertension, ISH: isolated systolic hypertension, TC (mg/dl): total cholesterol, TG (mg/dl): triglyceride, LDL-C (mg/dl): low density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C (mg/dl): high density lipoprotein cholesterol, MS: metabolic syndrome.

*Weighted proportion of 2010’ Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

†Group A: All employer (weighted number 4,830,156; unweighted case 696).

‡Group B: Crafts and machine operators(weighted number 1,629,428; unweighted case 221).

§CHD risk equivalent: >20% per 10-year of Framingham coronary heart disease risk score.

Cardiovascular disease event as stroke or myocardial infarction, High; both metabolic syndrome an CHD risk equivalent, Medium; one of the two, Low; neither metabolic syndrome nor CHD risk equivalent.
