Adjusted for sex, body mass index, low-density lipoprotein, eGFR, cigarette smoking, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, alcohol consumption and medications for hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia. eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate. HDL: high-density lipoprotein, IDF: international diabetes federation. *p < 0.05.
