  1. Outcome variables are in ln(x) form; amultiple linear regression; b logistic regression; Model A adjusts for age, maximum education, sex, family history, ethnicity, and income level; Model B adjusts for all variables adjusted for in model A plus: BMI, smoking status, total cholesterol, HDL-C, systolic blood pressure; Elevated waist circumference (WC) was ≥ 85 cm in women and ≥ 90 cm in men; Elevated triglycerides (TG) were ≥ 1.5 mmol/L in women and ≥ 2 mmol/L in men; HTGW is the presence of both elevated WC and TG; BMI body mass index, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HTGW hypertriglyceridemic waist, WC waist circumference, TG triglycerides
