Odds ratios were adjusted for age, smoking status and alcohol use. Components are defined as follows: High blood glucose: fasting blood glucose ≥100 mg/dL; high triglycerides: triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL; low HD: HDL < 50 mg/dL for women and < 40 mg/dL for men; high blood pressure: systolic blood pressure ≥130 or diastolic blood pressure ≥85. BMI: body mass index; WC: waist circumference; ABSI: A Body Shape Index; BRI: Body Roundness Index; VAI: Visceral Adiposity Index; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
