aGroup 1: both GGT and SF were not in the fourth quartile; group 2: only GGT or SF was in the fourth quartile; group 3: both GGT and SF were in the fourth quartile. Model 0, no confounding factors were adjusted; model 1, adjusted for age and BMI; model 2, model 1 plus drinking; model 3, model 1 plus T2D; model 4, model 1 plus hypertension; model 5, model 1 plus hypertriglyceridemia; model 6, model 1 plus metabolic syndrome; model 7, model 1 plus MDA.
