Note: the statistically significant results are in bold. Controlled variables included in the logistic regression analysis for OR (adjusted) were age, sex, BMI, and smoking status. OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; PPARGC1A: peroxisome proliferator activated receptor, gamma, coactivator 1 alpha.
