Notes: Data are expressed as coefficients (95% CI). A logarithmic transformation was used to improve the normality of distribution for dependent variables. *All models were constructed by logistic regression analysis. The adjusted covariates in the models were the same as those listed in Table 2. MetS: metabolic syndrome, Magnesium intake/kg: dietary magnesium intake per kilogram body weight.
