  1. In total, 756 couples were analyzed
  2. AM, Arithmetic mean; ASD, Arithmetic standard deviation; WC, waist circumference; BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; MBP, mean blood pressure [MBP = (SBP + 2 × DBP)/3]; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c
  3. aANOVA: p after one-way analysis of variance; A: p for difference between the MS and the MSRES; B: p for difference between the MS and the Non-MS; C: p for difference between the MSRES and NonMS.
  4. **, * and ns for p < 0.01, p < 0.05 and p ≥ 0.05
  5. bGM and GSD are shown in place of AM and ASD. Comparisons were made after logarithmic conversion
