Regression coefficient (95% CI).

^aNatural log transformed.

^bModel 1: Adjusting for survey years, age, sex, race, or ethnic group, hemoglobin level, mean corpuscular volume, red cell distribution width, and triglyceride.

^cModel 2: Model 1 plus obesity status (underweight, normal weight, overweight, obesity).
