BP: Blood pressure, HDL: High-density lipoprotein, NAFLD: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, TG: Triglyceride, ALT: Alanine aminotransferase, OR: Odds ratio, CI: Confidence interval, CKD: Chronic kidney disease, eGFR: Estimated glomerular filtration rate. Abdominal obesity defined by individuals with waist circumference of ≥90 cm in men; ≥80 cm in women. CKD defined by individuals with eGFR ≤60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or presence of proteinuria. High TG defined by individuals with triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL. Low HDL defined by individuals with HDL <40 mg/dL in men; <50 mg/dL in women
