Qualitative explanatory variables that had more than two categories were transformed into dummy variables for inclusion in the logistic model
FLI (< 60 vs. ≥ 60)
OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; aOR: adjusted odds ratio; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; diabetes categories: prediabetes (fasting plasma glucose 100 to 125), diabetes (fasting plasma glucose > 125 and/or antidiabetic treatment) BP: blood pressure; BP categories: prehypertension (systolic BP 130 to 139 and/or diastolic BP 85 to 89 mmHg), hypertension (systolic BP ≥ 140 and/or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg and/or with antihypertensive treatment)
