Table 3 Odds ratio for lymph node metastasis by increased BMI (continuous) and serum lipid level (continuous)

Continuous Variables	Univariate logistic analysis		Multivariate logistic analysis ^†
Continuous Variables	OR (95% CI)	P value	OR (95% CI)	P value
TC (mmol/L) ^a	0.98 (0.97–0.99)	0.001	0.99 (0.97–1.01)	0.545
TG (mmol/L) ^a	0.99 (0.98–1.01)	0.366
HDL-C (mmol/L) ^a	0.87 (0.82–0.91)	< 0.001	0.92 (0.85–1.01)	0.089
LDL-C (mmol/L) ^a	0.98 (0.97–1.00)	0.060
LP (a) (mg/L) ^b	1.00 (0.99–1.01)	0.244

BMI (kg/m²) ^d	1.43 (1.16–1.75)	0.001	1.39 (1.00–1.93)	0.050

^† Adjusted for TC, HDL-C, BMI, age, sex, location, grade, T stage, PNI, LVI, Lauren classification, tumor size, and ELN
^a Odds ratios reported for a 0.1 mmol/L increase in TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C
^b Odds ratios reported for a 10 mg/L increase in LP (a)
^c Odds ratios reported per standard deviation (SD) increment
^d Odds ratios reported for a 5 kg/m² increase
