1p values of continuous variables (presented as mean ± standard error) were calculated using general linear models, and p values of categorical variables (presented as n (%)) were calculated using the chi-square test. Statistical significance was defined as a p value <0.05. The different alphabets in same row show significant difference of 0.05 based on Duncan test. Physical inactivity was defined as performing over 30 min of exercise less than twice a week. BMI, body mass index; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure.
