  2. aCentral obesity was defined as high WC (≥ 90 cm for men and ≥ 80 cm for women), high WHR (≥ 0.9 for men and ≥ 0.8 for women), or high WHtR (≥ 0.5). The variables were defined as the following: HDL-C low < 1.04 mmol/L and high ≥1.04 mmol/L, LDL-C low < 3.4 mmol/L and high ≥3.4 mmol/L, TC low < 5.2 mmol/L and high ≥5.2 mmol/L, TG low < 1.7 mmol/L and high ≥1.7 mmol/L, and FPG low < 7.0 mmol/L and high ≥7.0 mmol/L. The lowest quartile (Q1) of the dietary pattern or low values of the variables were the reference group (not shown)
