Adjusted for the effects of age, gender, race, high- and low-density lipoproteins, triglycerides, smoking, blood pressure class, presence of metabolic syndrome, C-reactive protein, waist circumference, alcohol use, creatinine, and serum albumin concentration. No participants had diabetes or renal impairment. aMen and women were classified into quartiles by gender-specific cutoff numbers and were subsequently pooled.
