†RC and other lipid parameters were simultaneously added into the multivariable regression model. The model was adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, current drinking, current smoking, estimated glomerular filtration rate, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, antihypertensive, and hypoglycemic drugs.
OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; Ref., reference value; RC, remnant cholesterol; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; Non-HDL-C, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
