CI: confidence interval, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, DIL: dietary insulin load, DII: dietary insulin index, FBG: fasting blood glucose, HDL_C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, hs-CRP: high-sensitivity c-reactive protein, MetS: metabolic syndrome, MCP-1: monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, OR: odds ratio, SBP: systolic blood pressure, TG: triglyceride, and WC: waist circumference. Binary logistic regression was used. The lower median of DIL (<97155.69) and DII (<38.82) consider a reference group. hs_CRP: adjusted for age, energy intake, physical activity, education status, marital status, economic status, and hs_CRP. MCP-1: adjusted for age, energy intake, physical activity, education status, marital status, economic status, and MCP-1.
