Notes: Model 1: age and sex. Model 2: model 1 variables plus race/ethnicity, education level, marital status, family poverty income ratio, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoke status, and drink status. Model 3 was adjusted for model 2 variables plus physical activity, body mass index, waist circumference, mean energy intake, dietary phosphorus and calcium intake, hemoglobin, fast glucose, glycohemoglobin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, gamma-glutamyl transferase, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, serum phosphorus and calcium, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol.
Abbreviations: sUA, serum uric acid; SAAC, severe abdominal aortic calcification; Q1, 0.7–4.5 mg/dL; Q2, 4.6–5.4 mg/dL; Q3, 5.5–6.3 mg/dL; Q4, 6.4–11.3 mg/dL; OR, odd ratio; CI, confidence interval.
