  1. In model 1, covariates were not adjusted; Model 2 adjust for age, sex, race/ethnicity, educational level, marital status, poverty income ratio; Model 3 adjust for Model 2 plus smoking statues, drinking status, BMI category, diabetes, hypertension, LDL cholesterol, eGFR; Abbreviations: HR, Hazard ratios; CI, confidence interval; NLR, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio; BMI, body mass index; LDL cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate.
