Model 1: no covariates were adjusted. Model 2: age, gender, race was adjusted. Model 3: age, gender, race, level of education, ratio of family income to poverty, level of education, smoking status, alcohol drinking, sedentary behavior, physical activity, fasting plasma glucose, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood urea nitrogen, blood creatinine, diabetes diagnosis, CVD diagnosis, stroke, arthritis, lipid lowing drugs, and anti diabetes medicine were adjusted.
