Variables	OR	95% CI	p
Method forward stepwise
Rheumatoid arthritis group	4.87	1.31–18.78	0.01
Systemic lupus erythematosus group	4.22	1.06–16.74	0.04
Age, years	Not in the model
Hypertension, years	1.06	1.002–1.12	0.04
Waist circumference, cm	1.04	1.01–1.08	0.007
Uric acid, mmol/L	1.46	1.08–1.97	0.01

Multivariate analysis was performed by logistic regression. Model adjusted by age, hypertension, waist circumference, uric acid, RA, SLE and CL group (as reference)

Italic values indicate significance of p value (p < 0.05)
