Multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) relating obesity and metabolic syndrome risk factors according to type of nut intake.

Multivariable logistic analysis was adjusted for age, gender, race, education (less than college, some college, college grad+), cigarette use (ever or never), alcohol use (ever or never), hours of sedentary time per day, energy, red meat, whole grain, and dairy intake. Abdominal obesity: waist circumference ≥102 cm (≥40 inches) in men, ≥88 cm (≥35 inches) in women; hypertriglyceridemia: TG: ≥150 mg/dL (≥1.7 mmol/L) or drug treatment for elevated TG; low HDL-C: <40 mg/dL (<1.03 mmol/L) in men, <50 mg/dL (<1.3 mmol/L) in women, or drug treatment of reduced HDL-C; high blood pressure: BP: ≥130 mm Hg systolic BP, or ≥85 mm Hg diastolic BP, or drug treatment of hypertension; hyperglycemia: fasting glucose: ≥100 mg/dL or drug treatment for elevated glucose [4].
