Model 1 included cardiometabolic index and hs-CRP

Model 2 included cardiometabolic index, hs-CRP, age, sex, residence, marital status, educational level, smoking status, and drinking status

Model 3 included covariates in Model 2 plus body mass index, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, cancer, heart disease, lung disease, depressive symptoms, and fasting status
