Normal BMI, BMI = 18.5‐23.9 kg/m²; Elevated BMI, BMI ≥ 28.0 kg/m².

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDLc, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; METS‐IR, metabolic score for insulin resistance; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TG, triglyceride; TyG, triglyceride and glucose index.
