A In the original cohort; B In the weighted cohort

Crude model: we did not adjust for other covariates

Model I: we adjusted for age, gender, BMI, waist circumference, smoking status, alcohol consumption, regular exerciser, SBP, DBP

Model II: we adjusted for age, gender, BMI, waist circumference, smoking status, alcohol consumption, regular exerciser, SBP, DBP, ALT, AST, GGT, HbA1c, FPG, TC, TG, HDL-C
