Model 1 was not adjusted. Model 2 was adjusted for sex and age. Model 3 was adjusted for sex, age, BMI, SBP, DBP, HDL-C, fatty liver, eGFR. BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; TyG, triglyceride glucose index; baPWV, brachial to ankle pulse wave velocity; CI, confidence interval.
