Data are means±SD or %. *not significant; †p<0.05 by the χ2 test. All other significances were at the p<0.01 by the χ2 test or ANOVA. Heavy alcohol drinking was defined as ≥360 grams of alcohol/week. The ranges of the total leukocyte counts tertiles were 3,800-5,290, 5,291-6,460, and 6,461-10,000/µL, respectively.
BP, blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; AST, serum aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, serum alanine aminotransferase; GGT, serum gamma glutamyl transferase; BUN, blood urea nitrogen.

NS, not significant. *<0.05; †<0.01; ‡not significant. All other odds ratios were p<0.001. All odds ratios were adjusted for age, gender, smoking, alcohol intake, educational background, and household income. Definitions; obesity as body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 hypertension as an SBP ≥140 mmHg and/or a DBP ≥90 mmHg; dyslipidemia as an LDL-C ≥4.1 mM/L and/or a triglyceride of ≥2.46 mM/L and/or a HDL-C of <1.16 mM/L. Total leukocyte counts by tertile were the same as shown in Table 1, and were:- 1,070-2,806, 2,807-3,676, and 3,677-8,199 for neutrophils, 146-1,748, 1,749-2,224, and 2,225-5,727 for lymphocytes, 0-315, 316-410, and 411-1,714 for monocytes, 0-22, 23-34, and 35-397 for basophils and 0-88, 89-176, and 177-2,671/µL for eosinophils, respectively.
WBC, white blood cell, SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HDL-C, high density liprotein-cholesterol.

*<0.05; †<0.01; ‡not significant. All other odds ratios were p<0.001. All odds ratios were adjusted for age, gender, smoking, alcohol intake, educational background, and household income. Metabolic syndrome was defined as the presence of 3 or more of the following abnormalities: BMI ≥25 kg/m2; triglyceride ≥1.7 mM/L; HDL-C <1.04 mM/L; FPG ≥6.1 mM/L; and SBP ≥130 mmHg and/or DBP ≥85 mmHg. In all subjects, the ranges of the total and differential leukocyte counts in the tertiles were as shown in Table 2. In never-smokers these were 3,800-5,050, 5,051-6,150, and 6,151-10,000 for total leukocytes, 1,096-2,707, 2,708-3,536, and 3,537-8,199 for neutrophils, 146-1,711, 1,712-2,121, and 2,122-5,057 for lymphocytes, 7-294, 295-379, and 380-1,714 for monocytes, 0-21, 22-32, and 33-397 for basophils, and 0-71, 72-139, and 140-2,268 for eosinophils, respectively. In pastsmokers these were 3,800-5,323, 5,324-6,400, and 6,401-10,000 for total leukocytes, 1,070-2,807, 2,808-3,604, and 3,605-7,571 for neutrophils, 756-1,979,1,798-2,236, and 2,237-5,727 for lymphocytes, 0-22, 23-34, and 35-180 for basophils, and 0-99, 100-190, and 191-2,671 for eosinophils, respectively. In current smokers, these were 3,800-5,900, 5,901-7,200, and 7,201-10,000 for total leukocytes, 1,200-3,079, 3,080-4,063, and 4,064-7,950 for neutrophils, 541-1,971, 1,972-2,445, and 2,446-4,726 for lymphocytes, 0-25, 26-38, and 39-246 for basophils, and 0-129, 130-240, and 241-2,200 for eosinophils, respectively. WBC, white blood cell.

*<0.05; †<0.01; ‡not significant. All other odds ratios were p<0.001. All odds ratios were adjusted for age, smoking, alcohol intake, educational background, and household income. Metabolic syndrome was defined as in the legend of Table 4. In men, the ranges in each tertile were 3,800-5,580, 5,581-6,800, and 6,801-10,000 for total leukocytes, 1,070-2,922, 2,923-3,810, and 3,811-7,950 for neutrophils, 388-1,864, 1,865-2,330, and 2,331-5,727 for lymphocytes, 0-346, 347-448, and 449-1,376 for monocytes, 0-22, 23-36, and 37-246 for basophils, and 0-112, 113-217, and 218-2,671 for eosinophils, respectively. In women, these were 3,800-5,000, 5,001-6,100, and 6,101-10,000 for total leukocytes, 1,096-2,680, 2,681-3,514, and 3,515-8,199 for neutrophils, 146-1,701, 1,702-2,109, and 2,110-5,057 for lymphocytes, 7-289, 290-369, and 370-1,714 for monocytes, 0-21, 22-32, and 33-397 for basophils, and 0-68, 69-130, and 131-2,132 for eosinophils, respectively.
