FIG. 1.

Multivariable-adjusted mean values of VAT% among men with 24≤ body mass index <27 kg/m². Model I was adjusted for age, height, and waist circumference. Model II was adjusted for variables in model I plus smoking status (nonsmokers, exsmokers, smokers less than 20 cigarettes/day, or smokers 20 cigarettes or more/day), amount of alcohol intake (grams/day), and physical activity levels of the participants' current jobs (sedentary, light physical activity, medium physical activity, or very heavy). Model III was adjusted for variables in model II plus levels of systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. P < 0.001 for overall comparison in all characteristics. For pairwise comparisons, *P < 0.05, and **P < 0.001. VAT%, proportion of VAT area to the sum of VAT and SAT areas.
