  1. Shown are numbers, frequencies, means ± standard deviations, and medians with 25 and 75 percentile values. WC, waist circumference; WHtR, ratio of waist circumference to height; HDL-C, HDL cholesterol; LDL-C, LDL cholesterol; LDL-C/HDL-C, ratio of LDL cholesterol to HDL cholesterol; TG/HDL-C, ratio of triglycerides to HDL cholesterol. Asterisks denote significant differences from nonsmokers (*, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01)
