  1. The correlation coefficient (r) was calculated using the Spearman correlation test. Non-HDL-C was calculated as total cholesterol minus high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
  2. BMI body mass index, CACS coronary artery calcium score, EAT epicardial adipose tissue, FPG fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c glycosylated hemoglobin, TC total cholesterol, TG triglyceride, WC waist circumference
