  1. We assigned each category of risk factor with one of the following point scores, corresponding to the β coeficients of multivariable logistic regression: 1, β = 0.01-0.20; 2, β = 0.21-0.80; 3, β = 0.81-1.20; 4, β = 1.21-2.20; and 5, β > 2.20. The reference category for each variable was given a score of 0. BMI body mass index, BP blood pressure, HR Heart rate, FBS fasting blood sugar, TG triglycerides, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, β standardized partial regression coefficient
