Three logistic regression models were applied: model 1, adjusted for age; model 2, adjusted for age, race, marital status, driving experience in years, and education; and model 3, further adjusted for age, race, marital status, driving experience in years, education, smoking, alcohol and physical activity. BMI, Body Mass index; WC, Waist circumference; WHtR, waist-to-height Ratio; %BF, percentage body fat; ABSI, a body shape index; BRI, body roundness index; CUN-BAE, Clínica Universidad de Navarra-Body Adiposity Estimator; CI, Conicity index; MetS, metabolic syndrome; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; FBG, fasting blood glucose; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; WC, waist circumference. Cat: categorical variable, Hypertension: systolic blood pressure ≥ 130 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 85 mmHg, WHtR: (> 0.5), CI: (>1.25), ABSI: > 0.086.
