Data are odds ratios (95% CI). Odds ratios (ORs) and P values were derived from logistic regression models.

Model 1: unadjusted model; Model 2: adjusted for age, education status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, use of antidiabetic medication, and dyslipidemia, based on Model 1; Model 3: further adjusted for fasting serum insulin, based on Model 2.
