  1. LDL Low-density lipoprotein; HDL High-density lipoprotein
  2. NWC Normal WC group with normal weight: WC ≤88 cm and BMI < 25 kg/m2 in females; and WC ≤102 cm and BMI < 25 kg/m2 in males
  3. WC: waist circumference; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval
  4. Odds ratios were calculated using multiple logistic regression models in which the dependent variable was defined as having metabolic risk factors and it was adjusted for age and gender. The reference group was set as the females and the NWC group
