^aP < 0.0005 vs low-waist-to-height ratio group.

Values are means ± SE [comparisons made from the high-waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) group vs the low-WtHR group]. Statistical significance is represented by the P value obtained by One-Way ANOVA followed by the Dunn post-hoc test. WtHR: Waist-to-height ratio; BMI: Body mass index.
