Multivariate analysis of the risk factors for S. The variables with P < 0.05 in the univariate analysis between the S group and the non-S group were introduced into the multivariate logistic regression model. After adjustment for age, gender, education, smoking, BMI, MNA-SF, ALT, CRP, Hb, and ALB, a significant positive association was detected between S and serum Hcy per 1-μmol/L increase (OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 1.02–1.12, P = 0.003). BMI (obesity and overweight) was negatively correlated with S. The risk of S was significantly decreased in the university education or above group. Moreover, the MNA-SF, CRP, and age were significantly associated with an increased risk of S
