Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation for variables with a normal distribution (§), median and interquartile range for variables with a skewed distribution (ƥ) based on normality testing by Kolmogorov–Smirnov test
BRI body roundness index, CI conicity index, LAP lipid-accumulation product, VAI visceral adiposity index, WTI waist circumference-triglyceride index, ABSI a body-shape index, AVI abdominal volume index, BAI body adiposity index. p value indicates the differences between healthy and MetS groups according to gender
