  • All values are mean ± SD. NG, normal group (normal BMI with normal WC); COG, centrally obese group (normal BMI with high WC); GOG, generally obese group (high BMI with normal WC); COM, combined obese group (high BMI and WC); TC, total cholesterol; HDL, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; LDL, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; s-BP, systolic blood pressure; d-BP, diastolic blood pressure.

  • †, ‡, and § are marked in groups with higher values and P < .05 by ANOVA test.

  • * P value by general linear model with age and smoking amount adjustment among groups.
