Note: Crude model: nonadjusted model.

Minimally adjusted model: We adjusted for age, gender, low‐density lipoprotein, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, the administration of antidiabetic medications, smoking status, and alcohol consumption.

Fully adjusted model: We adjusted for body mass index, age, gender, low‐density lipoprotein, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, the administration of antidiabetic medications, smoking status, and alcohol consumption.
