  1. TG: triglyceride, HDL-C: high density lipoprotein cholesterol
  2. Data are presented as odds ratio (95% confidence interval)
  3. aModel 1: Unadjusted
  4. bModel 2: Adjusted for sex and age at follow-up
  5. cModel 3: Adjusted for sex, age at follow-up, adolescent systolic blood pressure, waist circumference, total cholesterol, and fasting glucose
  6. dThe cut-off point for high and low TG/HDL-C ratio was 1.04 for boys and 0.81 for girls, according to the sex-specific 75th percentiles for TG/HDL-C ratio in the Korean population at age of 16 years
