Factor loading and goodness-of-fit indexes of single-factor models for metabolic syndrome. *** p < 0.001. HOMA-IR: homeostasis assessment model for insulin resistance; cHDL: high density lipoprotein cholesterol; MAP: mean arterial pressure; χ²: chi-square; df: degree freedom; CFI: comparative fit index; SRMR: root mean square residual; HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin A1c. MODEL A: proposed by Pladevall et al. [9]; MODEL B: proposed by Martinez-Vizcaino et al. [23]; and MODEL C: a new model that included HbA1c rather than HOMA-IR or fasting insulin as the dysglycemia indicator.
