  1. Continuous variables are expressed as mean ± SEM and p-values were calculated by survey-weighted linear regression analysis. Categorical variables are expressed as percentages and p-values were calculated by survey-weighted chi-square tests. PIR poverty-to-income ratio, BMI body mass index, TC total cholesterol, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, NHHR ratio of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HGS hand grip strength, Q quartiles.
