Model 5 was sensitivity analysis after excluding those with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m². We adjusted age, ethanol consumption, smoking, physical activity, SBP, DBP, BMI, TC, TG, HbA1c, and FPG.

Model 6 was sensitivity analysis after excluding those with age ≥ 60 years. We adjusted age, ethanol consumption, smoking, physical activity, SBP, DBP, BMI, TC, TG, HbA1c, and FPG.
