Data presented as the odd ratio (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). Models were adjusted for age and sex; BMI: body mass index, WC: waist circumference, WHR: waist to hip ratio, and WHtR: waist to height ratio; overweight or obesity was defined as .0 kg/m²;central obesity was defined as  cm for female and >94 cm for male; central obesity was defined as for female and >0.90 for male; visceral obesity was defined as .
