We divided the groups into four categories (Q1 to Q4) based on KNHANES total BF percentage data, ranging from the lowest quartile group to the highest quartile group, respectively. Values were generated using a multiple linear regression analysis after adjusting for age (model 1); age, smoking, drinking, exercise, vitamin D, income level, and single status (model 2); age, smoking, drinking, exercise, vitamin D, income level, single status, and WC (model 3).

BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; BF, body fat.
