CES-D Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale; CI confidence interval; MetS metabolic syndrome; OR odds ratio
aBasic: adjusted for age, education, sex, ethnicity; Extended: adjusted for set 1 + smoking (cigarettes per day), physical activity (MET-minutes/day), CRP (mg/L)
bQuartile 1 (lowest quartile of scores) = reference group
cMetS clinical cut off points: reduced HDL-cholesterol: <1.0 mmol/L or <40 mg/dL for males; <1.3 mmol/L or <50 mg/dL for females [1]
