Model 1: Adjusted for age, Model 2: Adjusted for age, smoking status, physical activity level, education, marital status, family history of CVD, body mass index + other components of MetS.

*Women to men RHR: The value shows women-to-men relative hazard ratio for each parameter obtained in model 2. MetS: metabolic syndrome; CVD: cardiovascular diseases; CI: confidence interval; HR: hazard ratio; RHR: ratio of hazard ratios; BP: blood pressure; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; TG: Triglycerides; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; WC; waist circumference
