Percent difference in mean objective physical performance outcomes by metabolic syndrome component group. % difference is calculated as follows: [(mean MetS group (high-MetS, mid-MetS, low-MetS) – mean none-MetS (referent))/mean none-MetS group] × 100. Negative values indicate lower means for low-/mid-/high-MetS group versus none (eg, participants in high-MetS group took 20% longer to complete the 40-ft walk (m/s) vs those with no MetS components). MetS = metabolic syndrome. *p-Value for trend <0.0001 for all physical performance outcomes.
