†p < 0.05. Note: BMI = body mass index; WHtR = waist-to-height ratio; BF% = body fat %; MWC = midpoint waist circumference; SWC = smallest waist circumference; SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; TG = triglycerides; FG = fasting glucose; HOMA-IR = Homeostatic Model Assessment; TC = total cholesterol; LDL = low density lipoprotein; Non-HDL = not HDL cholesterol; ES = effect size. * Variables expressed as median (minimum and maximum); other variables: average (± standard deviation).
