  1. aValues are n (%)
  2. bMetS: the presence of 3 or more of the following components: (1) elevated waist circumference (WC); (2) high triglyceride (TG) levels; (3) low high density lipoprotein–cholesterol (HDL-C) or taking anticholesterol medication; (4) high blood pressure (BP) or taking antihypertensive medicine; (5) high fasting glucose levels or taking medication to treat diabetes mellitus
  3. cp-values for differences among sleep duration categories were calculated by chi-square tests
