Model 1: adjusted for center, age.
Model 2: additionally adjusted for ALT, γ-GGT, BMI, smoking, drinking, cardiovascular disease, eGFR.
Model 3: additionally adjusted for HbA1c, SBP, DBP, pulse, HOMA-IR and use of anti-diabetic medication.
UACR, TG, TG/HDL-C levels were logarithmically transformed to achieve a normal distribution.
