MHAO Metabolically Healthy Abdominally Obese, MUAO Metabolically Unhealthy Abdominally Obese, OR Odds Ratio, CI Confidence Interval, FBS Fasting Blood Sugar, TG Triglycerides, HDL-C High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, SBP Systolic Blood Pressure, DBP Diastolic Blood Pressure, IL1β interleukin 1 β, FFAs free fatty acids
*p < 0.05
^a Data are reported as Mean ± standard deviation
^bData are reported as Median (25th, 75th)
^c Independent Samples t- test
^dMann-Whitney U test
^e ORs are calculated based on higher FBS, TG, Systolic PB, Diastolic BP, and lower HDL-C level
