Model 1: crude effect; Model 2: adjust for age, BMI, and smoking statues; Model 3: additionally, adjusted for antilipid drug, aspirin consumption, history of CVD, and history of diabetes; Model 4: additionally, adjusted for total cholesterol. Data are shown as β (95% CI). Linear random intercept model was used.
