Abbreviations: CI: Confidence Interval; DBP: Diastolic Blood Pressure; FPG: Fasting Plasma Glucose; HCHS/SOL: Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos; HDL-C: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MetSyn: Metabolic Syndrome; SBP: Systolic Blood Pressure; TG: Triglycerides; WC: Waist Circumference.
Continuous data are presented as mean (95% CI), and categorical data are presented as a percentage (95% CI). Values are weighted for study design and nonresponse, and are adjusted for age standardized to the US 2010 population.
SI conversions: To convert triglycerides to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0113; HDL-cholesterol to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0259; fasting glucose level to mmol/l, divide by 18
