A graphic image of this result is shown in Fig. 3. Adjusted for age, sex, BMI, systolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, alanine aminotransferase (log), serum albumin, kidney function at baseline, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride (log), C-reactive protein (elevated or not), potential diabetes and other comorbid status (hypertension, dyslipidemia, history of stroke and ischemic heart disease)
