- WC – waist circumference, SD – standard deviation, BMI – body mass index, SBP – systolic blood pressure, DBP – diastolic blood pressure.
- Values are presented as median (25th–75th percentiles).
-
aSignificantly different (p < 0.05) from participants with WC in the <75th percentile.
-
bSignificantly different (p < 0.05) from participants with WC in the 75th– < 90th percentile.
- *Differences between three groups.
