  2. Model 1, adjusted for age, sex
  3. Model 2, adjusted for age, sex, education level (primary education and below vs. secondary schooling and above), smoking status (Yes and No), and alcohol drinking status (Yes and No)
  4. Model 3, adjusted for covariates in model 2 and baseline characteristics of body mass index (BMI), history of diabetes (presence vs. absence), hypertension (presence vs. absence), and fasting plasma glucose
