  1. Data is presented as number (%) or mean ± SD. PRSMetS, PRS for metabolic disease; PRS, polygenic risk score; BMI, body mass index; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c, haemoglobin A1c; hs-CRP, high sensitivity C-reactive protein. Higher lifestyle scores indicate better lifestyle habits.
