Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; UACR, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio; hsCRP, high sensitivity C-reactive protein.

^*:Model 1: unadjusted.

^**:Model 2: adjusted for age, gender, BMI, systolic BP, diastolic BP, hsCRP, fasting glucose, eGFR, smoking, alcohol drinking, betel nut chewing, and physical activity.

^†:Normoalbuminuria: UACR<30 mg/g creatinine; Albuminuria: UACR≥30 mg/g creatinine; Reference group is normoalbuminuria.

^‡:Central obesity is defined as waist circumference ≥90 cm in men, and/or ≥80 cm in women.
