Note: Variables are expressed as mean value ± SD; (n) sample size. 1 For independent t-test. Overweight/obesity was defined as a BMI greater than 17.2 (7 years old ~), 18.1 (8 years old ~), 19.0 (9 years old~), 20.0 (10 years old ~) [23], and central obesity was defined as a WHtR greater than 0.45 [24]. Abbreviations: SP (systolic pressure), DP (diastolic pressure), TG (triglyceride), TC (total cholesterol), HDL (high density lipoprotein), LDL (low density lipoprotein), FBG (fasting blood glucose).
