  1. Model 1: no covariates were adjusted.
  2. Model 2: age, gender, race/ethnicity were adjusted.
  3. Model 3: age, gender, race, body mass index, education level, income-poverty ratio, physical activity, smoking behavior, alcohol consumption, blood urea nitrogen, total protein, total cholesterol, serum uric acid, serum folate, serum vitamin B12, serum phosphorus, and serum calcium were adjusted.
  4. In the subgroup analysis stratified by gender or race, the model is not adjusted for the stratification variable itself
