IL, interleukins (pg/mL); TNF tumor necrosis factor (pg/mL); SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL, high density lipoprotein; WC, waist circumference; TG, triglycerides; P75, percentile 75; P25, percentile 25. Data are presented as Odds ratio and confidence interval (95%), and adjusted for age, time since menopause, body mass index and physical activity.
