Model 1 was unadjusted. Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex and WHR. Model 3 was adjusted for all variables in Model 2 plus HbA1c, fasting insulin, LDL, TC, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, current smoking, current drinking, and eGFR at baseline. Values in bold indicate statistical significance (P value < 0.05). CI, confidence interval; MACEs, major adverse cardiovascular events; METS‐IR, metabolic score for insulin resistance; RR, risk ratio; SD, standard deviation.
