  1. BMI refers to Body Mass Index, SBP to systolic blood pressure, DBP to diastolic blood pressure, WC to waist circumference, TC to total cholesterol, LDL-C to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TG to triglycerides, Glu to glucose, GPX3 to glutathione peroxidase 3, SOD to superoxide dismutase, MDA to malondialdehyde, oxLDL to oxidized low-density lipoprotein, and PON1 to paraoxonase-1.
