+ Lipid profiles, MET11.42 (1.21 to 3.27)1.42 (1.22 to 2.18)
+ Lipid profiles, MET, HOMA-IR11.33 (0.69 to 2.15)1.21 (1.13 to 2.05)
+ Lipid profiles, MET, HOMA-IR, diabetes11.28 (0.75 to 1.94)1.09 (1.04 to 1.67)
+ Lipid profiles, MET, HOMA-IR, diabetes, hsCRP11.05 (0.66 to 1.59)1.03 (0.92 to 1.84)
  • *Basic model included the following covariates: age, marital status, education, smoking and drinking history, monthly income, type of work, SBP, DBP. Lipid profiles include indicators such as TC, LDL-C, HDL-C in the adjusting model.

  • DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR, homoeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance; hsCRP, high-sensitive C reactive protein; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MET, metabolic equivalent; NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol.
