Notes: Model 1: no covariates were adjusted. Model 2: age, gender, and race were adjusted. Model 3: age, gender, race, educational level, BMI, family income-to-poverty ratio, moderate activities, smoking at least 100 cigarettes over the life period to the point of data collection, diabetes status, hypertension status, ALT, AST, Total calcium, Blood urea nitrogen, Serum uric acid, and Serum phosphorus were adjusted. In the subgroup analysis stratified by gender and race, the model is not adjusted for sex and race, respectively.
