* Statistically significantSBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, BP blood pressure, TG triglycerides, FBG fasting blood glucose, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, TC total cholesterol, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, WC waist circumference, zBMI z score of body mass index

Non–HDL-C concentration was calculated by subtracting HDL-C value from total cholesterol concentration

Diff-C was defined as the difference between total amount of non-HDL cholesterol and LDL-C (Diff-C = [non-HDL-C]-[LDL-C]). Atherogenic index as the ratio between TG and HDL-C concentrations

Model I: crude model

Model II: adjusted for age, sex, living area, screen time, SES and physical activity

Model III: additionally adjusted for BMI except for zBMI and WC
