NLR (per SD)	1.39 (1.17-1.65)	0.0002	1.44 (1.21-1.72)	< 0.0001
Quartile 1 (< 1.38)	Reference		Reference

Quartile 3 (1.76–2.30)	2.42 (1.30-4.50)	0.0052	2.52 (1.35-4.73)	0.0039
Quartile 4 (≥ 2.30)	3.07 (1.68-5.62)	0.0003	3.30 (1.78-6.12)	0.0001
P for trend		0.0001		< 0.0001

SD = 0.76; P values were calculated from univariate or multivariate regression tests, and the bold typeface indicates significance (P < 0.05). The multivariate model was further adjusted for age, sex, smoking, drinking, regular exercise, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. OR: Odds ratio; CI: Confidence interval; SD: Standard deviation; NLR: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.
