  1. BMI body mass index, VAI visceral adiposity index, CKD chronic kidney disease, FEV1 forced expiratory volume in 1 s, FVC forced vital capacity
  2. *Categorical variables are presented as frequency and percentage, n (%), using Pearson chi-square test to compare differences
  3. ΔContinuous variables are presented as mean value ± standard deviation, and one-way analysis of variance is used to compare the differences between each group
