Model was adjusted for the variables of repeated years of medical check-up based on all medical check-up participants by using GEE.

Model 0: adjusted for nothing.

§

Model 1: adjusted for age and sex.

Model 2: adjusted for age; sex; center; body mass index; total cholesterol; total triglyceride; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; fasting plasma glucose; uric acid.
