Table 5

Cox regression analysis for the association between the Cr/BW ratio and incident nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by age.

Note: model 1 is determined by univariate analysis; model 2 was adjusted for gender; model 3 was further adjusted for age, BMI, SBP, DBP, ALP, GGT, ALT, AST, ALB, GLB, TB, BUN, UA, FPG, TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C. Abbreviations: HR = hazard ratio; CI = confidence interval.
