BMI Body mass index, WC Waist circumference, VFA Visceral fat area, ST Sedentary time 1.00–1.99 MET, LPA Light physical activity 2.00–3.49 MET, MVPA Moderate to vigorous physical activity ≥ 3.50 MET. Differences among sexes were analyzed using the independent samples t-test for continuous variables and the chi-square test for categorical variables. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. Values are calculated for the number of participants with data on the variable in question. For analyzing Framingham risk scores, participants with previously diagnosed coronary artery disease were excluded
