The multivariate multinomial logistic regression was used for estimation of ORs and confidence interval (CI). Bold Values indicate P < 0.05 as the level of significance. *Adjusted for sex, age, smoking, physical activity, education levels and energy intake. ^(A) Defined as the presence of at least three of the following components: TG ≥150 mg/dl; WC ≥ 88 cm in women and ≥ 102 cm in men; DBP ≥85 mmHg or SBP ≥ 130 mmHg; HDL-C < 50 mg/dl in women and < 40 mg/dl in men and fasting glucose ≥100 mg/dl.
