  1. aStudy participants were classified a priori for a cardiometabolic outcome. High risk was based on at least one of the following criteria: BMI (kg/m2) of 25–44; fasting triglycerides > 150 mg/dL; HDLc < 50 mg/dL-women or < 40 mg/dL-men; HOMA > 2; HbA1c ≥5.7 and < 6.5. Low risk was based on the absence of all risk factors. The interactions of the risk by sex or 3 components (age, sex and risk) was not significant. Values are mean and standard errors (SE)
