Data are reported as medians (interquartile range) and proportions (percentage). p values were calculated using chi-square tests for categorical variables and the analysis of variance for continuous variables. Participants were categorized into four groups based on body mass index (BMI); normal weight (BMI 18.5–24.9 kg/m2), underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), overweight (BMI 25.0–29.9 kg/m2), and obesity (BMI ≥ 30.0 kg/m2). SBP; systolic blood pressure, DBP; diastolic blood pressure, LDL-C; low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
