BMI: body mass index; TSFT: triceps skinfold thickness; WC: Waist circumference. Logistic regression analysis with OR (Odds Ratio) and 95% CI (95% confidence interval). Model 1: adjusted for age and sex; Model 2: adjusted by age, sex, calories and fiber. Cut-off points BMI (Normal: Adults <25 or elderly <27 and Overweight: Adults ≥25 or elderly ≥27 kg/m2) TSFT (Normal: ≥percentile 10 <percentile 90 and High: ≥percentile 90), WC (Normal: Women <80 cm and Men <94 cm and High: Women ≥80 cm and Men ≥94 cm) and Glucose (Normal: <200 mg/dL and High: ≥200 mg/dL). p < 0.05 was considered as significant.
