  1. Abbreviations: LC latent class, MetS the metabolic syndrome, HDL high-density lipoprotein
  2. Percentages represent the prevalence of MetS components within each of the five metabolic profiles. For example, the 19.0% prevalence of high blood pressure refers to participants falling into the LC1 no MetS profile. A description of the metabolic profiles is given in Table 3
