aModel 1: adjusted for age and BMI

bModel 2: adjusted for age, BMI, alcohol consumption, serum vitamin D, smoke status, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, hypertension, physical activity, and HOMA-IR

cData are presented as means ± SE. n = unweighted; N = the size of Korean population estimated using sample weights.

*Statistically significant (p<0.05) on the basis of the multivariable linear regression test
