OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; MEHHP: mono (2-ehtyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate; MEOHP: mono (2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate; MECPP: mono (2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate; MnBP: mono-n-butyl phthalate; MBzP: mono-benzyl phthalate. *: p values were shown the test of trend of odds. Crude: hepatic steatosis index, each type of phthalate metabolites. Model 1: Crude + age, sex, creatinine. Model 2: Model 1 + smoking, drinking, exercise, marital status, education, socioeconomic status. Model 3: Model 2 + hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia.
