Multivariable model was adjusted for baseline age, sex, estimated glomerular filtration rate (continuous, mL/min per 1.73 m2), alanine aminotransferase (continuous, IU/mL), aspartate aminotransferase (continuous, IU/mL), hemoglobin (continuous, g/dL), low‐income status (the lowest quartile in the nation), body mass index (continuous, kg/m2), Charlson Comorbidity Index score, and place of residence (urban or rural). IRR indicates incidence rate ratio; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular events; MetS, metabolic syndrome; and MV‐PA, moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity.
