Validating the MetS index and its association with economic status. a, b The MetS index compared between MetS subjects and non-MetS subjects in individuals with different economic status using boxplots (a) and in individuals from different sampling regions using a radar chart (b). In (b), the median MetS index values of MetS and non-MetS subjects in each region were plotted along with radar angles, and each angle represents one sampled region. Wilcoxon rank-sum test adjusted by the Benjamini and Hochberg method (c, d). ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05. c Correlations between the MetS index and spending in MetS and non-MetS subjects evaluated by Spearman correlation tests
