  1. BMI body mass index, TyG index triglyceride-glucose index. Exercise was defined as nonregular exerciser (0) or regular exerciser (1), smoking status was defined as nonsmoker (0), ex-smoker (1) or current smoker (2), and alcohol consumption was defined as no or minimal alcohol consumer (0), light alcohol consumer (1), moderate alcohol consumer (2) and heavy alcohol consumer (3). Model 1 was unadjusted. Model 2 was adjusted for sex and age. Model 3 was adjusted for sex, age, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol consumption, exercise, systolic blood pressure and serum creatinine
