BMI: body mass index, SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, FPG: fasting plasma glucose, Tg: triglyceride, Chol: cholesterol, HDL-C: high density lipoprotein cholesterol, Creat: creatinin concentration.
*Because of abnormal distribution of these variables we tested them with nonparameteric Mann-whitney test but no difference was found in the results and prevalues.
