Model 1 was unadjusted; model 2 was adjusted for sex and age; model 3 was adjusted for model 2 plus BMI, WC, and WHR; and model 4 was adjusted for model 3 plus TC, LDL-C, and HbA1c. Quartile 1: 189.32–460.89 pg/mL, quartile 2: 460.89–559.45 pg/mL, quartile 3: 559.45–659.34 pg/mL, and quartile 4: 659.34–2097.09 pg/mL.
