Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for stroke according to the metabolic syndrome component exposure scores in subgroups. a Male vs. female (p for interaction = 0.0242). b Nonobese vs. obese (p for interaction = 0.0215). c Increased or same number vs. decreased number of metabolic syndrome components from 2010 to 2013 (p for interaction = 0.1211). The analysis was adjusted for age, sex, alcohol consumption, smoking, regular exercise, income status, baseline systolic blood pressure, waist circumference, and fasting glucose, triglyceride, and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels
