  1. Model 1 was adjusted for demographic factors: age, sex, race/ethnicity, marital status, education level, and occupation type
  2. Model 2 was adjusted for model 1 plus lifestyle factors: smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical exercise, BMI, and eGFR
  3. Model 3 was further adjusted for model 2 plus biochemistry factors: triglyceride, total cholesterol, fasting glucose, CRP, and ALT
  4. aOR for 1 mg/dL SUA increase
