a Estimated from parametric proportional hazard models. The p value for the interaction of obesity and NAFLD for the risk of incident gallstones was 0.300 in women, and 0.170 in men. Multivariable adjusted model 1 was adjusted for age, sex, center, year of examination, education level, smoking, alcohol intake, exercise, total calorie intake, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, and medication for dyslipidemia; model 2 included model 1 plus adjustments for LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides, HOMA-IR, and hsCRP. Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HR, hazard ratio; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; HOMA-IR, Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; NAFLD, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
