All the subgroup analyses were adjusted for age, sex, family history of diabetes, hypertension, smoking status, level of education, BMI, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C. BMI: body mass index; TG: triglyceride; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Data are (%).
