Weighted associations between the VAI and all-cause mortality in the multivariable, and crude analyses.

VAI	<1.7	≥ 1.7
	HR (95%CI) p	HR (95%CI) p
Model 1	0.86 (0.65-1.14) 0.300	1.04 (0.99-1.10) 0.100
Model 2	0.92 (0.70-1.20) 0.530	1.05 (1.00-1.10) 0.064
Model 3	0.84 (0.63-1.10) 0.200	1.05 (1.01-1.10) 0.023
Model 4	0.81 (0.61-1.09) 0.171	1.05 (1.01-1.10) 0.028
Model 5	0.73 (0.56-0.97) 0.029	1.05 (1.01-1.09) 0.031

HR, hazard ratio, CI, confidence interval; VAI, visceral adiposity index; Model 1, unadjusted; Model 2, adjusted for age; Model 3, adjusted for age, sex; Model 4, adjusted for model 3 covariates plus ethnicity, family income-poverty ratio level, education, and marital status; Model 5, adjusted for model 4 covariates plus smoking status, diabetes, hypertension, CVD, and CKD.

Data are hazard ratio (95% CI).
