  1. BMI, indicates body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; UA, uric acid; AIP, atherogenic index of plasma;
  2. PA1 group, non-exercise group, no extra physical activity except daily life and work activities
  3. PA2 group, occasional exercise group, physical activity <three times a week and <30 min each session or <90 min of physical activity a week; PA3 group, frequent exercise group, physical activity >three a week and >30 min each session or >90 min a week.
