Crude model: we did not adjust other covariants
Model I: we adjusted age, sex, BMI
Model II: we adjusted age, sex, BMI, ALT, AST, GGT, ALB, GLB, DBIL, BUN, FBG, TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, TB, eGFR
Model III: we adjusted age(smooth), sex, BMI (smooth), ALT (smooth), AST (smooth), ALB (smooth), GLB (smooth), DBIL (smooth), BUN (smooth), FBG (smooth), TC (smooth), TG (smooth), HDL-c (smooth), LDL-c(smooth), TB (smooth), eGFR (smooth)
OR odds ratios; CI confidence, Ref reference; SUA/Scr serum uric acid-to-creatinine ratio
