Continuous variables are expressed as mean ± standard deviation and (range). cm = centimeter; mg/dL = milligrams per deciliter; HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; mm Hg = millimeters of mercury. Note: two participants from the full study sample (i.e., N = 55) were excluded due to either missing HDL-C or waist circumference measurements.
