  1. Continuous variables are reported as mean (standard deviation) and categorical variables are given as frequency (percent). In the final sample, missing data existed only in pre-existing disease and drug variables; in categorisation of metabolic health status, missing was assumed “no”, but frequencies of missing are shown in this table. It is evident that most people with missing nevertheless was categorised in an unhealthy group
