Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • 3,720 baseline participants (mean±SD age(y) of 48.3±9.4, 45.3% men, and 59.1% African-American),
  • Genetic data were available on 1,024 African-American participants.
  • Incomplete covariate data reduced the sample to n=769, while additional exclusions lead to a sample size ranging between 574 and 598 participants, with 539 having complete data on all baseline and follow-up outcome measures (cross-sectional part of the analysis).
  • In the longitudinal analysis, metabolic disturbance-free at baseline participants were selected for each outcome. Sample sizes ranged from n=246 (central obesity-free) to n=466 (hyperglycemia-free).
  • There were n=294 MetS-free individuals at baseline.

Exclusion

  • Whites in HANDLS, since they did not have any genetic data collected.
  • All African-Americans in HANDLS without genetic data collected.
  • All African-Americans in HANDLS with genetic data collected, who had incomplete data on key outcome variables and/or basic covariates of interest.
