  1. Data are odds ratio (ORs) or beta coefficient (β) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs).
  2. Model 1: adjusted for age and gender
  3. Model 2: adjusted for age, gender, marital status, education, smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity
  4. Model 3: adjusted for age, gender, marital status, education, smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity, body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol
  5. *: multiple linear regressions for PWV levels according to TG/HDL-C or TyG index (per 1 unit increment)
