  1. Standard multiple regression analyses were performed to examine the independent associations between demographic and clinical factors, and BMI and WC. In addition, a logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the variables predictive of MetS.
  2. BMI body mass index, WC waist circumference, MetS metabolic syndrome, B unstandardized coefficient, SE standard error, ß standardized coefficient, OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval.
  3. an = 98; five patients had no data for WC.
  4. bBold font indicates statistical significance.
