aOdds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for MetS, central obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C, hypertension, and hyperglycemia were estimated by binary logistic regression. HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MetS: metabolic syndrome; SELENOP: selenoprotein P. bAdjusted for sex, age (years), body mass index (kg/m2), smoking (current, former, and never), drinking (current, former, and never), vigorous activity (yes or no), and education level (none or elementary school, middle school, and high school or college). |
