Each component of the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is shown in a separate model for visit 2 and 4; all are adjusted for age, combined race and test center, education, sex, coronary artery disease, history of smoking and history of drinking. Results for composite MetS are shown in a separate model with the same covariates.
