  1. Notes: Model I: adjust for age and sex. Model II: adjusts for age, sex, SBP, DBP, BMI, smoking, alcohol consumption, and work status. Model III: adjust for age, sex, SBP, DBP, BMI, smoking, alcohol consumption, work status, HbA1c, TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C. Model IV: adjusts for age, sex, SBP, DBP, BMI, smoking, alcohol consumption, work status, HbA1c, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, FPG, PPG, FCP, glucose-lowering medication, antihypertensive medication, lipid-lowering medications, diabetes duration, logSFA (model 4 of logVFA), and logVFA (model 4 of logSFA)
  2. Abbreviations: logVFA, the natural logarithm of the visceral fat area; logSFA, the natural logarithm of the subcutaneous fat area; baPWV, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; β, beta coefficient; CI, confidence interval;
