*Overweight was defined as weight-for-BMI ≥ 85th percentile (≥1.035 Z score); Obesity was defined as weight-for-BMI ≥ 95th percentile (≥1.645 Z score); Sex-specific weight-for-BMI percentiles were based on WHO growth reference (World Health Organization, 2006).
#Hypertension was defined in accordance with the blood pressure reference standards for Chinese children as systolic or diastolic BP ≥ 95th percentile for age and sex.
Abbreviations: SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, FG fasting glucose, TC total cholesterol, TG triglyceride.
