  1. Continuous variables are presented as mean ± SD. HDL-C, TG, LAP, VAI, TyG, TyG-BMI and TyG-WC values were logarithmically transformed before statistical testing to meet the assumption of normal distributions; however, the untransformed data are shown
  2. BMI body mass index, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TG triglycerides, HOMA-IR homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, LAP lipid accumulation product, VAI visceral adiposity index, TyG index the product of triglycerides and fasting glucose, WC waist circumference
  3. aOnly those participants not using antihypertensive drugs were analyzed
