| Components | <30 Years, n (%) | 30-40 Years, n (%) | 40-50 Years, n (%) | >50 Years, n (%) | Total, n (%) | p a |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Elevated DBP | 0 (0.0) | 10 (1.2) | 6 (0.9) | 7 (6.1) | 23 (1.0) | <.001 |
| HTN | 3 (0.5) | 13 (1.6) | 29 (4.2) | 13 (11.4) | 58 (2.6) | <.001 |
| Raised FBS | 57 (10.2) | 146 (17.4) | 187 (27.1) | 47 (41.2) | 437 (19.9) | <.001 |
| Raised TG | 191 (34.3) | 337 (40.2) | 373 (54.0) | 56 (49.1) | 957 (43.5) | <.001 |
| Reduced HDL | 336 (60.3) | 461 (55.1) | 364 (52.7) | 70 (61.4) | 1,231 (56.0) | .03 |
| Waist circumference > 90 cm | 346 (62.1) | 585 (69.8) | 544 (78.7) | 90 (78.9) | 1,565 (71.1) | <.001 |
| Waist circumference > 95 cm | 214 (38.4) | 375 (44.7) | 337 (48.8) | 73 (64.0) | 999 (45.4) | <.001 |
| Waist circumference > 102 cm | 68 (12.2) | 131 (15.6) | 98 (14.2) | 16 (14.0) | 313 (14.2) | .359 |
Note. HDL = high-density lipoprotein; TG = triglyceride; SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; FBS = fasting blood glucose; TG = triglyceride.
a
p ≤ .05 is considered as significant.
