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)

^bMetS clinical cut off points: elevated fasting plasma glucose: ≥5.6 mmol/L or ≥100 mg/dL; elevated blood pressure: systolic: ≥130 and/or diastolic ≥85 mmHg; reduced HDL-cholesterol: <1.0 mmol/L or <40 mg/dL for males; <1.3 mmol/L or <50 mg/dL for females [1]
