#Model 1: linear regression analysis, 2: multiple regression analysis after adjustment for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, BMI, alcohol consumption, 3: multiple regression analysis after adjustment for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, waist circumference, alcohol consumption; HOMA-IR is logarithmic-transformed. *P-values < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant.
