MS () versus NMS ()
	OR (95% CI)
Model 1	5.41 (3.94, 5.89)	0.001
Model 2	4.34 (3.88, 4.88)	0.001
Model 3	3.01 (2.87, 3.57)	0.002

(statistically significant). OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval. Model 1: unadjusted effects; Model 2: adjusted for age and gender; Model 3: adjusted for age, gender, LDL, and insulin resistance.
