  1. Model 1: no covariates were adjusted
  2. Model 2: age, sex, and race were adjusted
  3. Model 3: model 2 plus body mass index were adjusted
  4. Model 4: model 3 plus education level, income-poverty ratio, moderate recreational activities, alcohol use, smoking cigarettes, blood urea nitrogen, total protein, serum uric acid, serum glucose, serum phosphorus, serum calcium, and serum 25(OH)D were adjusted
  5. In the subgroup analysis stratified by sex or race, the model is not adjusted for the stratification variable itself
