  1. Data are expressed as the hazard ratio (95% confidence interval)
  2. BMI category was classified into the four groups: low weight < 18.5 kg/m2, normal weight 18.5 ≤ BMI < 23 kg/m2, overweight 23 ≤ BMI < 25 kg/m2, and obesity BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2
  3. The hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) were calculated by the Cox proportional hazards model with baseline age, alcohol, smoking and exercise status, BMI (as a continuous variable), BMI categories (4 groups), WC categories (8 groups), interaction between BMI categories and WC categories, FBS, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, AST, ALT, and comorbidities, assessed by CCI
