HDL-C = High-density lipoprotein Cholesterol; CRI = Castelli Risk Index; SBP = Systolic Blood Pressure; DBP = Diastolic Blood Pressure; BMI = Body Mass Index; WC = Waist Circumference; HP = Hip Circumference; p - statistical significance; * - statistically significant differences (p < 0.05); ** - statistically significant differences (p < 0.01). Correlation strength was interpreted using the following thresholds: |ρ| < 0.30 = weak; 0.30–0.49 = moderate; ≥ 0.50 = strong.
