1 Incidence was presented as n (%), and hazard ratios and 95 % confidence intervals were calculated using Cox model after adjusting for continuous (age, BMI, and energy intake) and categorical (educational level, current drinking status, current smoking status, and physical activity) variables. p for trends were performed using a generalized linear model. MetS, metabolic syndrome; BMI, body mass index; HDL, high-density lipoprotein. High triglyceride, serum triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL; Low HDL-cholesterol, serum HDL-cholesterol <40 mg/dL in men and <50 mg/dL in women; Abdominal obesity, waist circumference ≥90 cm in men and ≥80 cm in women; High fasting plasma glucose, fasting plasma glucose ≥100 mg/dL; High blood pressure, systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥85 mmHg.
