No NAFLD	19.94 (19.42‐20.46)	Reference	Reference
NAFLD	28.05 (26‐30.11) §	3.08 (2.46‐3.86)	1.96 (1.47‐2.6)
CVD or ASCVD ≥7.5%
No NAFLD	21.04 (20.41‐21.67)	Reference	Reference
NAFLD	29.66 (27.55‐31.77) §	2.73 (2.23‐3.34)	1.81 (1.41‐2.32)

^*Age adjustment is based on the direct method to the census 2000 population, using the age groups 20‐44, 45‐64, and ≥65 years.

^†Model 1, adjusted for age and race.

^‡Model 2, adjusted for Model 1 plus current smoker, MS, cancer, and COPD; due to multicollinearity between MS and metabolic components, the letters were excluded.

^§Significantly different from no NAFLD.
