HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, HOMA-IR: insulin resistance, LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, MetS: metabolic syndrome, and OR: odds ratio.
Models were adjusted by sex, sexual development, smoking, physical activity, protein intake and history of type 2 diabetes.
aIncluding abdominal obesity.
bOR was not calculated because of the small sample size for one comparison group in these cells.
