Logistic regression models: Model 1, no covariates were adjusted. Model 2 was adjusted for demographic factors, including age, race, and education. Model 3 was adjusted for age, race, education, physical activity, smoking behavior, alcohol behavior, BMI, hypertension, diabetes, HbA1c, albumin, blood urea nitrogen, total calcium, cholesterol, creatinine, phosphorus, triglycerides, and uric acid. ; ; .
