) Mean ± SD; BMI: body mass index; abdominal obesity: >88 cm for women and >102 cm for men; composite index: Level 1: WHtR <0.5 and BMI < 25 kg/m2, Level 2: WHtR < 0.5 and BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, Level 3: WHtR ≥ 0.5 and BMI < 25 kg/m2, Level 4: WHtR ≥ 0.5 and BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and BMI < 30 kg/m2, and Level 5: WHtR ≥ 0.5 and BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. Significant differences in the same sex group: A: regarding normal weight, B: regarding overweight, (Kruskal-Wallis test, and Dunn-Bonferroni post hoc). Significance between men and women in the same BMI group (S) (Mann-Whitney test and 2-sample -test).
