CPI, cardioprotective index; SD, standard deviation; BMI, body mass index; WC, Waist circumference; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio; continuous and discrete data are presented as mean (± SD) and number and percent respectively. P* values derived from one-way ANOVA for continuous variables (age, BMI, WC, WHR) and chi-squared test for discrete variables (gender, marital status, education, family size and physical activity)
