^¥CKD coding: 0, reference group represents subjects with eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m²; 1 represents subjects with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m².
*Serum lipids in the model: HDL-C, LDL-C, triglycerides.
SE: standard error; B: logistic regression coefficient; df: degree of freedom; OR: odds ratio; AdipoQ: adiponectin.
Sex coding—0: male and 1: female.
