Model 1: no covariates were adjusted. Model 2: age, sex, and race were adjusted. Model 3: age, sex, race/ethnicity, education level, the ratio of family income to poverty, BMI, energy intake, protein intake, carbohydrate intake, dietary fiber intake, total fat intake, LDL-C, HDL-C, TG, TCHO, urine albumin, urine creatinine, albumin, creatinine ratio, SBP, DBP, heavy alcohol consumption, smoking status, and minutes sedentary activity were adjusted. In the subgroup analysis stratified by sex, age, and race/ethnicity, the model was not adjusted for sex, age, and race/ethnicity, respectively.
