  1. Data are presented as mean ± SD.
  2. The model was adjusted for age (year), dietary total calories intake (kcal/day), and PA. Waist circumference was excluded as a criterion in the definition of MS.
  3. *P < 0.01 when compared with the metabolically healthy and normal weight subjects. Pairwise comparisons were adjusted for the Bonferroni correction.
  4. BMI Body mass index and CRF Cardiorespiratory fitness.
