  1. 1. Normal-weight was defined as 18.5 ≤ BMI <  24 kg/m2. Metabolic normality was defined as the individuals with ≤1 of metabolic abnormality in blood pressure, FPG, TG and HDL-C
  2. 2. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation except sex with percentage
  3. 3. Abbreviation: MNNW Metabolically normal normal-weight, MONW Metabolically obesity normal-weight, WC Waist circumference, BMI Body mass index, SBP Systolic blood pressure, DBP Diastolic blood pressure, FPG Fasting plasma glucose, TC Total cholesterol, TG Triglycerides, HDL-C High density lipoprotein cholesterol
  4. 4. # Comparisons between MNNW and MONW
