OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; MetS, metabolic syndrome; MET, metabolic equivalent. Abdominal obesity: waist circumference ≥ 85 cm in men, ≥ 90 cm in women; hypertension: systolic blood pressure ≥ 130 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 85 mmHg; hyperglycemia: blood glucose ≥ 110 mg/dL; dyslipidemia: triglyceride ≥ 150 mg/dL and/or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level < 40 mg/dL.
