  1. aCentral obesity was defined as having a waist circumference of ≥90 cm in males and ≥ 80 cm in females
  2. bRaised blood pressure was when the systolic blood pressure was≥140 mm of Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mm of Hg including those on medication for raised BP among adults aged 18–69 years
  3. cRaised fasting blood glucose was when the values of fasting blood glucose were ≥ 126 mg/dl including those on medication for raised blood glucose among adults aged 18–69 years
