Logistic regression model for LS risk in all the participants.

All variables () that showed a certain degree of difference in univariate analysis were used as covariates. The dependent variable was LS risk. Covariates were age, sex, BMI, PBF, WC by BIA, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. Bold values type indicate significant difference. LS, locomotive syndrome; β, partial regression coefficient; CI, confidence intervals; WC, waist circumference; BIA, bioelectrical impedance analysis; BMI, body mass index; PBF, percent body fat.
