Survey weight-adjusted multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were performed for all-causes mortality. Competing risk analyses of cause-specific mortality were performed. Model 1 was adjusted for baseline age, sex, and race/ethnicity. Model 2 was further adjusted for income, marital status, education, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, diabetes, hypertension, plasma HDL-C, and FIB-4 in addition to model 1

BMI, Body mass index; CI, confidence intervals; FIB-4, Fibrosis-4 index; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HR, hazard ratio; MASLD, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; TyG, triglyceride-glucose; WC, waist circumference
