P values were for the χ2 analyses across the groups. Significant p-values (p < 0.05) were in bold.
High BMI level was defined as BMI≥24.0 kg/m2.
High WC level was defined as a waistline ≥80 cm for females or ≥85 cm for males.
Obesity was defined as high BMI level or high WC level.
Compound obesity was defined as the combination of high BMI level and high WC level.
Hypertension was defined as SBP≥140 mm Hg or DBP≥90 mm Hg.
Dyslipidaemia was defined as the presence of one or more of the following criteria: TC≥5.20 mmol/L or TG≥1.70 mmol/L or HDL-C<1.00 mmol/L or LDL-C≥3.4 mmol/L.
*Linear-by-linear association.
BMI, body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus; TG, triglycerides; WC, waist circumference.
