Below normal: the number of bilateral vision impairment subjects with low levels of the variable being analyzed. Normal range: the number of bilateral vision impairment subjects within the normal range for the variable being analyzed. Above normal: the number of bilateral vision impairment subjects with a high level of the analyzed variable. OR: odds ratio; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval; BMI: body mass index; MAP: mean arterial blood pressure; FBG: fasting blood glucose; SII: systemic immune-inflammation index.
