  1. HRs with 95% CIs were calculated to evaluate the association between lnRCII and mortality or cause-specific mortality in the NHANES and CHALRS cohorts. The analysis was conducted using both quartile-based categorization and per SD increase models, where participants were grouped into lnRCII quartiles with the first quartile serving as the reference, and HRs were also calculated for each SD increase in lnRCII to evaluate continuous risk associations
  2. Model 1: Unadjusted
  3. Model 2: Adjusted for age, sex, race (NHANES), education level, marital status, drinking, smoking
  4. Model 3: Adjusted for age, sex, race (NHANES), education level, marital status, drinking, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, BMI,
