  1. Model 1 adjusted only for sex and age. Model 2 further adjusted for body mass index, alcohol consumption (never-drinker, former drinker, current drinker [< 23 g/week, 23–45 g/week, 46–68 g/week, ≥ 69 g/week]), smoking status (never-smoker, former smoker, current smoker), HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, HbA1C, and serum creatinine. Hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg. Platelet levels for men are < 18.7 × 104/μL for T1, 18.7–21.9 × 104/μL for T2, and ≥ 22.0 × 104/μL for T3, for women are < 20.3 × 104/μL for T1, 20.3–24.1 × 104/μL for T2, and ≥ 24.2 × 104/μL for T3. 1 standard deviation (SD) increments of platelet are 6.23 × 104/μL for men and 5.26 × 104/μL for women
