Significant association (P < 0.05) indicated by boldface type. Model 1: unadjusted. Model 2: adjusted for age and gender. Model 3: adjusted for age, gender, educational level, average monthly individual income, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, high fat diet, vegetables and fruits intake status, and family history of T2DM. In addition, significant association (P < 0.05) indicated by boldface type. The tables that meet the requirements were in roman.
