  1. Model 1 adjusted only for sex and age, Model 2 adjusted further for sex and age, body mass index, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, HbA1C, white blood cell, and γ-GTP. Platelet level: Lower (T1 × T2) is < 23.4 × 104/μL for men and < 24.9 × 104/μL for women. The highest (T3) is ≥ 23.4 × 104/μL for men and ≥ 24.9 × 104/μL for women
