  1. Values are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (SD).
  2. Triglycerides were skewed distribution, expressed as a geometric mean (interquartile range) and one way ANOVA was performed after logarithmic transformation.
  3. Overweight was defined as 25 kg/m2 ≤ BMI < 30 kg/m2 and obesity as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2.
  4. Bold indicates P value < 0.05.
  5. BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; TG, triglyceride;TC, total cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
