  1. WC waist circumference, BP blood pressure, TG triglyceride, HDL-c high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, MetS metabolic syndrome.
  2. Class I obesity was defined as a TMI ≥ 95th percentile and < 120% of the 95th percentile TMI.
  3. Class II obesity was defined as a TMI ≥ 120% of the 95th percentile and < 140% of 95th percentile TMI.
  4. Class III obesity was defined as a TMI ≥ 140% of the 95th percentile of TMI.
  5. Model 1: Statistical significance was determined using logistic regression analysis with no adjustment according to obesity class.
  6. Model 2: Statistical significance was determined using multiple logistic regression analysis after adjustment for age and sex according to obesity class.
  7. Model 3: Statistical significance was determined using multiple logistic regression analysis after adjustment for age, sex, alcohol consumption, smoking status, household income, rural residential area, physical activity, and diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, and dyslipidemia according to obesity class.
