  1. BMI body mass index; CI confidence interval
  2. a Adjusted covariates
  3. Model 1 = Unadjusted
  4. Model 2 = Model 1 + age, sex, race/ethnicity
  5. Model 3 = Model 2 + BMI, comorbidity, smoking, education level, hemoglobin
  6. b β coefficients were interpreted as change of protoporphyrin IX for each increase or decrease in muscle quality index
