  1. Model 5 was sensitivity analysis after excluding those with BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2. We adjusted DBP, gender, age, SBP, BMI, TC, AST, UA, GGT, TG, ALP, Cr, FPG, and LDL-C.
  2. Model 6 was sensitivity analysis after excluding those with TG ≥ 1.7 mmol/L. We adjusted DBP, gender, age, SBP, BMI, TC, AST, UA, GGT, TG, ALP, Cr, FPG, and LDL-C.
