aThe data are presented as n (%) or the means ± standard error (SE). n = unweighted; N = the size of Korean population estimated using sample weights; physical activity level = low (<600 MET minutes per week), moderate (≥600-<3000 MET minutes per week), high (≥3000 MET minutes per week); hypertension = diagnosis and current usage of antihypertensive drug or ≥140 mmHg systolic BP, or ≥90 mmHg diastolic BP; HOMA-IR = [fasting plasma glucose] × [fasting insulin] ×0.055/22.5; HOMA-beta = 20 × [fasting plasma insulin / ([fasting plasma glucose] × 0.055-3.5); HbA1c = glycated hemoglobin; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol

bThe prevalence (%) are presented weighted value
