Definitions of metabolic health.
| HOMA-IR | Healthy = <2.5 | HOMA-IR (mmol/L × μU/mL) = fasting glucose (mmol/L) × fasting insulin (μU/mL)/22.5 |
| ATP-III | Healthy = ≤2 metabolic syndrome criteria | Fasting glucose ≥5.6 mmol/L (or diabetes medications) | Systolic ≥130 mmHg or diastolic ≥85 mmHg (or antihypertensive medications) | Triglycerides ≥1.7 mmol/L (or cholesterol-lowering medications) | HDL-C <1.04 mmol/L (males), <1.30 mmol/L (females) | Waist circumference >102 cm (males), >88 cm (females) |
| Combined | Healthy = ≤1 criteria (Karelis et al. [29]) | HOMA-IR ≥1.95 (or diabetes medications) | Triglycerides ≥1.7 mmol/L (or cholesterol-lowering medications) | HDL-C <1.04 mmol/L (males), <1.30 mmol/L (females) | LDL-C ≥2.6 mmol/L | Total cholesterol ≥5.2 mmol/L (or cholesterol-lowering medications) |
