Model I was sensitivity analysis in participants without BMI≥24kg/m². We adjusted gender, age, family history of diabetes, drinking status, smoking status, SBP, DBP, BMI, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, SCr, BUN, FPG.

Model II was sensitivity analysis in participants without age≥60 years. We adjusted gender, age, family history of diabetes, drinking status, smoking status, SBP, DBP, BMI, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, SCr, BUN, FPG.

Model III was sensitivity analysis in participants without drinker (current-drinker and ex-drinker). We adjusted gender, age, family history of diabetes, smoking status, SBP, DBP, BMI, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, SCr, BUN, FPG.
