  1. The economic status was defined based on the wealth index, which was calculated by multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) with household’s ownership of selected assets. Physical activity was estimated by metabolic equivalent of task (MET) category, which was calculated based on the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) guideline. Dyslipidemia was defined as either serum total cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dL, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol <35 mg/dL, or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ≥130 mg/dL or use of lipid-lowering medication. Diabetes Mellitus was defined as fasting plasma glucose levels (FBS) > 126 mg/dL, previously diagnosed DM, or current intake of antidiabetic agents. Cardiovascular diseases was defined if the participant reported any history of myocardial infarction, angiography, or any other related heart diseases. Bold values indicate statistical significance
