Note 1: Model 1: Non-adjusted model adjusts for none. Model 2: Minimally adjusted model adjusts for age, race/ethnicity, education level, marital status and poverty to income ratio. Model 3: Fully adjusted model adjusted age, race/ethnicity, education level, marital status, poverty to income ratio, BMI (kg/m2), Had at least 12 alcohol drinks/1 year, smoked at least 100 cigarettes in life, diabetes, physical activity (MET-based rank) (%), blood urea nitrogen, uric acid, creatinine.

Note 2: In each case, the model was not adjusted for the stratification variable itself. Bold values means statistically significant.
