  1. The weighted sample size reflects the number of objects and the sample weights. 95% CI: 95%.
  2. Confidential Index for Cumulative Odds Ratio. *Adjustment for multiple comparisons was performed using the Sequential Sidak method for obesity criteria, family income, education, smoking, alcohol consumption criteria (AUDIT-K), chronic illness (cancer, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, coronary artery disease, arthritis, chronic pulmonary disease, depression, chronic renal failure, chronic viral hepatitis/ liver cirrhosis), and number of chronic diseases. Low ASMI groups were defined as subjects whose ASMIs were lower than the following three cutoff points: ASMI 2SD - the value of the lowest 2.28% of the gender-specific young reference group, ASMI 1SD - the value of the lowest 15.87% of the gender-specific young reference group, and ASMI 20 - the value of lowest 20% of the gender-specific old age study group.
