  1. Data presented as adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses.
  2. MetS status based on 1999 WHO criteria.
  3. Model A: adjusted for age (years) only.
  4. Model B: adjusted for age (years), education level (completed university or higher education/no further education), smoking status (current smoker/ non-smoker), employment status (employed/unemployed), parental history of diabetes (yes/no), leisure-time physical activity (mins/wk), and daily alcohol intake (KJ/d).
  5. Model C: adjusted for Model B + snack food consumption (serves/d) or TV viewing time (hr/d).
  6. Model D: adjusted for Model C + diet quality.
