MetS: metabolic syndrome; OR: odds ratio; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval; SD: standard deviation; BMI: body mass index; WC: waist circumference; WHtR: waist-to-height ratio; ABSI: a body shape index; BRI: body roundness index; CI: conicity index; IFG: impaired fasting glucose; TG: triglycerides; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; NAFLD: nonalcoholic fatty liver. The regression analyses were adjusted for age. The ORs and 95% CIs were analyzed using 1-SD alteration of the anthropometric indices. , , . The bold indicates the highest value of odds ratio among the indices.
