◙CVDs include stroke, cardiac ischemic, and myocardial infarction. *Abnormal WC ≥ 102 cm (male) and ≥ 88 cm (female). **Normal WHR ≤ 0.85 (female) and ≤ 0.90 (male). ▀Normal HDL-C ≥ 40 mg/dl (male) and ≥ 50 mg/dl (women)
Chi-square test was used to examine the association between the variables and CVDs. P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant
