  1. The general linear model was used for estimation of mean (SD) for circulating BCAAs (μmol/L) and linear regression model for β coefficient (SE)
  2. BCAAs, branched chain amino acids
  3. Results were adjusted for age, sex, BMI, waist circumference, current drinkers, current smokers, physical activity, diabetes treatment, cardiovascular disease, fasting glucose, fat intakes, animal protein intakes, fruit intakes, poultry intakes, and total energy intakes
  4. ∗Comparing to the lowest GRS group, P < 0.05
