  1. Model I, linear analysis; Model II, non-linear analysis. LRT test, Logarithmic likelihood ratio test. (p value < 0.05 means Model II is significantly different from Model I, which indicates a non-linear relationship); Adjustment variables: age, sex, BMI, TC, pubertal stage. BMI: body mass index, TC: total cholesterol; P < 0.05 is considered to be statistically significant.
