  1. SUA/Cr Serum uric acid to creatinine, r Pearson correlation coefficient
  2. aMale = 0, female = 1
  3. bSmoking status was defined as the number of cigarette packs per day multiplied by the number of years smoked (pack year), and the participants were classified into nonsmokers (0), past smokers (1), light smokers (< 20 pack year, 2), and heavy smokers (≥ 20 pack year, 3)
  4. cAlcohol consumption was measured using the Japanese liquor unit in which a unit corresponded to 22.9 g of ethanol, and the participants were classified into nondrinkers (0), occasional drinkers (< 1 unit/day, 1), daily light drinkers (1–2 unit/day, 2), and daily heavy drinkers (2–3 unit/day, 3)
