Boldface indicates statistical significance; 1 Adjusted p values for multiple comparisons (Hochberg method); 2 BMI categories are defined as follow: underweight (<18.5 kg/m2), overweight (25–29.99 kg/m2), Obese (≥30 kg/m2), (obese Class I (30–34.99 kg/m2), obese Class II (35–39.99 kg/m2), and obese Class III (≥40 kg/m2); 3 Adjusted for age, education level, smoking status, daily alcohol intake, physical activity, employment status, monthly household income, and matrimonial status.
