Adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval for the association between MetS status and successful aging.
Abbreviations: MetS, metabolic syndrome; Ref., reference; GLMM, generalized linear mixed model. GLMM model: Successful aging~ MetS status+ Age+ Sex+ Years of education+ Alcohol+ Time+ MetS status×time. The p values compared the differences across MetS status [no MetS, pre-MetS, and MetS (ref.)].
