There were missing data. Age, BMI, FPG, cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL, BUN, and CCR were described as mean and standard deviation; ALT and AST were described as medians (interquartile ranges (IQR)). Male, current smoker, current drinker, and family history were described as number and percentage. Abbreviation: BMI: body mass index; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; BUN: blood urea nitrogen; CCR: endogenous creatinine clearance rate.
