P was adjusted for age, education, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and residential location. BMI, body mass index; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio; WHtR, waist-to-height ratio; FM%, fat mass percentage; LM%, lean mass percentage; VFR, visceral fat rating; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure.
