^*Adjusted for confounders using the analytic weights.

^†Abdominal obesity was defined as a waist circumference ≥88 cm for women or ≥102 cm inches for men.

^‡High triglycerides was defined as ≥150 mg/dL.

^§Low HDL was defined as <50 mg/dL for women or <40 mg/dL for men.

^‖High blood pressure was defined as systolic blood pressure ≥130 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure ≥85 mm Hg, or current use of medication to treat high blood pressure.

^¶High fasting blood glucose was defined as ≥100 mg/dL or current use of medication to treat hyperglycemia.

^#Metabolic syndrome was defined using the AHA/NHBLI definition of meeting at least 3 of the 5 criteria (abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, low HDL, high blood pressure, or high fasting blood glucose).
