Values are expressed as odds ratio (95 % confidence interval). Model 1 adjustment for age, Model 2 adjustment for Model 1 + smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, Model 3 Model 2 + total cholesterol, LDL-C, HOMA-IR index and eGFR levels. Results in italics indicate statistical significance at the 0.05 level

MANW metabolically abnormal, but normal weight, MAO metabolically abnormal obese, MHO metabolically healthy, but obese, MHNW metabolically healthy normal weight
