a: multivariate logistic regression model without propensity score weighting, the HDL was cut by quantile

b: multivariate logistic regression model without propensity score weighting, the HDL was cut by 1.03 mmol/l.

c: multivariate logistic regression model after propensity score weighting, the HDL was cut by 1.03 mmol/l.
