Adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, calorie intake, accelerometer wear time and moderate–vigorous intensity physical activity. MetS, metabolic syndrome; WC, waist circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
