WC, waist circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TG, triglyceride; TC, total cholesterol; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; HOMA-IR, insulin resistance from Homeostasis Model Assessment; DDS, dietary diversity score; Q, quartile. P-values in bold indicate statistical significance.

1WC, TG, and HOMA-IR were right skewed and (natural) log transformed, and their geometric means with 95% confidence intervals reported here.
