Predictive value of RC for arterial stiffness in different logistic regression models

	RC as a continuous variablea			RC as a categorical variableb
	OR	95% CI	P value	OR	95% CI	P value
Crude model	1.029	1.018–1.039	< .001	2.520	1.912–3.322	< .001
Model 1	1.025	1.013–1.036	< .001	2.134	1.577–2.888	< .001
Model 2	1.020	1.008–1.032	.001	1.935	1.415–2.647	< .001
Model 3	1.018	1.006–1.031	.005	1.794	1.267–2.539	.001

Crude model: unadjusted; Model 1: adjusted for age, sex (male); Model 2: adjusted for variables included in Model 1 and smoking status, alcohol consumption, regular exercise, fatty liver; Model 3: adjusted for variables included in Model 2 and BMI, SBP, DBP, fasting glucose, uric acid, eGFR, AST, ALT, GGT, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL‐C, HDL‐C

Abbreviations: RC, remnant cholesterol; BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; AST, aspartate transaminase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; LDL‐C, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL‐C, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; GGT, γ‐glutamyltranspeptidase; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.

^aThe OR was examined by per 1‐unit increase of RC.

^bThe OR was examined regarding lower RC as reference.
