CVD, cardiovascular disease; adj, adjusted; HOMA-β, Homeostasis Model Assessment-Beta Cell Functioning.

^aThe multiple regression model was for the total cohort.

^bThe lipid profile was used to calculate the risk score for CVD.

^cA similar multiple regression model occurred in for the participants not taking medications.

^dThe multiple regression model was for participants taking medications.
