Multivariable models were adjusted for model 1: study region, age (5 years) and sex (men or women) and model 2: study region, age (5 years), sex (men or women), education (primary school or lower, middle school or higher), household income (<20,000 yuan/year, or ≥20,000 yuan/year), marital status (married, others), smoking status (current regular smoker, not current regular smoker), alcohol use(weekly drinker, not weekly drinker), intakes of red meat, fresh fruits and vegetables (daily, 4–6 days/week, 1–3 days/week, monthly, or never/rarely), family history of heart attack or stroke (presence or absence), and physical activity (3 groups).

BMI, body mass index; HR, hazard ratio; MHN, metabolically healthy normal weight; MHO, metabolically healthy obesity; MHOW, metabolically healthy overweight; MUN, metabolically unhealthy normal weight; MUO, metabolically unhealthy obesity; MUOW, metabolically unhealthy overweight.
