- Data are presented as proportion with corresponding percentages in parenthesis. The proportions were compared using Fischer’s exact test. n: number of subjects, Four categories of BMI (≤20, 20–24.9, 25–29.9, and ≥30 kg/m2) were identified. The categories were selected according to WHO recommendations to define individuals with a healthy weight (BMI 20–25), overweight (BMI 25–29.9) and obese (BMI ≥ 30). Individuals with a BMI ≤20 kg/m2 were classified as underweight. Women with WHR < 0.80, 0.80-0.84 and ≥ 0.85 were classified as normal weight, overweight or obese respectively, women with WHtR = < 0.53 and > 0.53 were classified as normal and obese respectively; Hyperglycaemia = fasting blood sugar ≥ 6.1 mmol/l, Impaired Glucose = fasting blood sugar between 6.1 to 6.9 mmol/l and Dyslipidaemia = TG >150 mg/dl and HDL-C < 40 mg/dl.
