  1. All correlation analyse are bivariate. TG: triglycerides; Apo B: apolipoprotein B; PMW: premenopausal women; MW: menopausal women; HDL-C: high density lipoprotein-cholesterol; MetS: number of metabolic syndrome components. The MetS elements considered are: abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia (high TG and low HDL-C levels), hyperglycemia and hypertension.
  2. *Log10-transformed.
