  1. zBMI Z score of body mass index, WC waist circumference, NC neck circumference, TG Triacylglycerols, LDL low-density lipoprotein, HDL high-density lipoprotein, FBG fasting blood glucose
  2. Adjusted model: Variables were controlled for age and gender. Moreover, biochemical variables were adjusted for one more confounder (BMI)
  3. Insulin resistance (IR) was determined by HOMA-IR ≥ 2.6 (Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance)
  4. P-values obtained by logistic regression analysis
