  1. Adjusted R2, 0.247; F-value, 56.84; model probability P<0.001.
  2. SE indicates standard error; β, standardized partial regression coefficient; BMI, body mass index; N of MS component, additional number of metabolic syndrome components (dyslipidemia and/or hyperglycemia).
  3. aValues considered in the multiple regression model were age, body mass index, smoking, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, heart rate, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting glucose, high-normal BP, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia and number of MS components.
