1 n = 5011 (men, 3047, women, 1964). Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the Adult Treatment Panel III Guidelines (waist circumference >40 inches for men and >35 inches for women, triacylglycerol <150 mg/dL (1.69 mmol/L) for both sexes, HDL-cholesterol <40 mg/dL (1.04 mmol/L) for men and <50 mg/dL (1.29 mmol/L) for women, blood pressure ≥ 130/85 mm Hg for both sexes, and fasting blood glucose ≥ 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) for both sexes. 2 Glycemic load is the product of the glycemic index of a food item and carbohydrate intake from that food in g divided by 100. 3 Referent category. 4 Significance of metabolic syndrome indicator variable in the multivariate logistic regression analysis (P for Wald F). 5 Logistic regression was adjusted for sex, age, race-ethnicity, smoking status, poverty income ratio, prescription medication use, vitamin/mineral supplement use, and intakes of alcohol, protein, fat, and dietary fiber. |
