WC, waist circumference (cm); MAP, mean arterial pressure (mm Hg); HOMA, homeostasis assessment model of insulin resistance; TG, triglyerides (mg/dl); HDL, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (mg/dl); Z, z score; MetS score, metabolic syndrome score.

*Values indicate sample mean and standard deviation (SD) (n = 193 girls).
