MDA level was log-transformed (ln) due to nonnormally distribution. Model 1 was the full model with adjusting for waist, LDL-C, TG, HDL-C, total cholesterol, SBP, DBP, and fasting blood sugar. Model 2 was carried out the backward elimination procedure for Model 1. Model 3 was adjusted for Met-S, total cholesterol, and LDL-C. Met-S: metabolic syndrome; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MDA: malondialdehyde; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure.
