Data are presented as No. (percentage) of participants or mean ± SD.
SI conversion factors: To convert glucose values to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0555.
Elevated triglyceride level defined as ≥1.7 mmol/L or pharmacological treatment of dyslipidemia; reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level defined as <1.3 mmol/L in women and <1.0 mmol/L in men or pharmacological treatment of dyslipidemia; elevated blood pressure defined as systolic blood pressure ≥130 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥85 mm Hg or pharmacological treatment of hypertension; elevated fasting glucose level defined as ≥100 mg/dL or pharmacological treatment of diabetes; high cardiometabolic risk defined as ≥2 of the 4 risk factors (triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting glucose levels).
Heavy drinker was defined as >7 alcohol U/wk for women and >10 alcohol U/wk for men.
Defined as ≥150 min/wk of moderate and vigorous physical activity assessed by accelerometer.
