a
Adjusted for age, race, gender, follow-up time, and the following time-dependent covariates: systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, smoking status, regular alcohol drinking, leisure-time physical activity, and serum uric acid; models of Visceral Adiposity Index were not adjusted for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol or triglyceride.
b
P < 0.05 (using false discovery rate method), comparing to normal geometry.
