a

Abdominal obesity was defined by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria: WC ≥ 90 cm for men and WC ≥ 80 cm for women.

b

Model 1: Unadjusted

c

Model 2: adjusted for demographic factors including age, sex, and education level.

d

Model 3: adjusted for demographic & lifestyle factors including age, sex, education level, recreational physical activity participation, alcohol consumption, use of energy drinks, and cigarette smoking.

e

Model 4: Model 3+blood pressure

f

Model 5: Model 4+psychological distress (evaluated by the General Health Questionnaire 12-item scale).

g

Model 6: Model 5+WHR/BMI (When overweight/obesity or obesity (defined from BMI) was the outcome variable, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) but not BMI was adjusted for. When abdominal obesity was the outcome variable, BMI but not WHR was adjusted for.
