  1. Abbreviations: PAL physical activity level, BMI body mass index, WC waist circumference, HC hip circumference, WHR waist-to-hip ratio, MAC mid- upper arm circumference, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, FBG fasting blood glucose, TG triglyceride, LDL-C low density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and HEI healthy eating index
  2. Data are presented as means ± standard deviations for continuous variables and as percentages for categorical variables
  3. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg
  4. Diabetes was defined as fasting blood glucose ≥126 /mg/dl
  5. Dyslipidemia was defined as total cholesterol ≥200, or triglycerides ≥150, or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ≥130, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) < 40 (for men) and HDL-C < 50 (for women)
  6. There are some missing data regarding marriage status (dyslipidemia patients: 2) education level (dyslipidemia patients: 17, healthy controls: 9), smoking status (dyslipidemia patients: 7, healthy controls: 1), HTN (dyslipidemia patients: 24, healthy controls: 5) and family history of CVD (dyslipidemia patients: 62, healthy controls: 9)
