The components of MetS (WC, TG, HDL-C, SBP, DBP, FG), age, and LDL-C were included in the multiple linear regression analysis with an "enter" procedure, and P values <0.05 are indicated by ^*.

Abbreviations: MetS, metabolic syndrome; WC, waist circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, HDL cholesterol; LDL-C, LDL cholesterol.
