Model 1: adjustment for age and sex; model 2: further adjustment for smoking history, diabetes duration, A1C, LDL cholesterol, GGT levels, and use of medications (i.e., hypoglycemic, antihypertensive, lipid-lowering, or antiplatelet drugs); model 3: additional adjustment for the presence of metabolic syndrome or NAFLD (for the first and second variables in the table) or additional adjustment for the presence of metabolic syndrome and NAFLD (for all other variables in the table).
