No-adjusted model: adjusted for none.

Minimally adjusted model: adjusted for sex, age.

Fully adjusted model: adjusted for sex, age, race, education, smoking, alcohol, CRP, Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), ABSI, minutes of sedentary activity, cholesterol, glucose, drug (take prescription for cholesterol), energy, hypertension, and diabetes.

All the models are not adjusted for the variable itself in each stratification.
