Data are presented as Means ± SD for anthropometric indices, while presented as Numbers and Percentages (N (%)) for BMI classification.

Independent-samples t-test was performed to compare the means of anthropometric indices, while Chi-square test was performed to test the differences in the BMI classification between subjects with or without MSyn within each gender group.

MSyn Metabolic Syndrome.

*P < 0.05 in the comparison between subjects with or without MSyn within the same gender group.

Significant values are in bold.
