  1. Model 1was adjusted for sex, age, BMI, race, education status and physical activity
  2. Model 2 was adjusted for all covariables in model 1 plus adjusted for SBP, DBP, blood cadmium, serum cotinine, hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, eGFR, blood urea nitrogen and C-reactive protein
  3. Model 3 was adjusted for all covariables in model 2 plus adjusted for calcium intake, total monounsaturated fatty acids intake, total polyunsaturated fatty acids intake, total saturated fatty acids intake, total fat intake and total protein intake
  4. Model 4 was adjusted for sex, age, BMI, race, hemoglobin, HDL-C and eGFR. The covariance was determined based on the matched odds ratio changed at least 10% when added to this model
  5. Abbreviations: BLL blood lead levels, SUA serum uric acid, CI confidence interval
