CI, confidence interval; MHNW, metabolically healthy with normal weight; MUNW, metabolically unhealthy with normal weight; MHO, metabolically healthy with overweight/obesity; MUO, metabolically unhealthy with overweight/obesity.

P-value for trend across categories, based on category midpoint. The reference of multinomial logistic models was MHNW. Model 1 adjusted for sex. Model 2 further adjusted for age based on Model 1. Model 3 further adjusted for smoking history, drinking history, education, residence, marital status, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and disease counts based on Model 2.

The bold values indicate the statistically significant.
