  1. Sex: F=girl, M=boy; WC: waist circumference (cm); SBP: systolic blood pressure (mm Hg; kPa); DBP: diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg; kPa); TRG: triglycerides (mgdl−1; mmoll−1); HDL: HDL cholesterol (mgdl−1; mmoll−1); HOMA: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; zvar: z-score of the corresponding variable; MetS score: zWC+(zSBP+zDBP)/2+(zTRG–zHDL)/2+zHOMA.
