BP blood pressure, WC waist circumference, TG triglyceride, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, HbA1c hemoglobin A1c, MetS metabolic syndrome, Met No number of metabolic syndrome components which the subjects satisfy except diabetes, β ^a standardized coefficient, β unstandardized coefficient

Model 1 The multivariate model included GGT, age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, use of statin, diabetic duration, HbA1c, eGFR, elevated blood pressure, increased waist circumference, high triglycerides, and low HDL-C

Model 2 The multivariate model included GGT, age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, use of statin, diabetic duration, HbA1c, eGFR, and number of metabolic syndrome components (elevated blood pressure, increased waist circumference, high triglycerides and low HDL-C)
