  1. The values are expressed as mean ± SD (FLI, BMI, waist circumference) or as geometric means and 95% confidence intervals (GGT, triglycerides, ALT, CRP, cholesterol, HDL, LDL)
  2. p < 0.0005 for linear trend for both mean values and proportions, except p = 0.001 for ALT data on proportions among women
