CVD: Cardiovascular diseases; FPG: Fasting plasma glucose; TG: Triglyceride; TC: Total cholesterol; LDL-c: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-c: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP: Systolic blood pressure; DBP: Diastolic blood pressure. ® Adjusted for BMI, sex, age, physical activity, added sugars, total energy intake, smoking, education level, history of diseases (except for type 2 diabetes mellitus), drug uses and intake of caffeine. * P value < 0.05 considered as significant level
