  1. Note: 1 SMI (skeletal muscle mass index). 2 Never drinker (nondrinker), light-to-moderate drinker (1–25 g/day), and heavy drinker (> 25 g/day)) for males. 3 Because of the small number of drinkers, we combined the light-to-moderate drinker group and the heavy drinker group. That is, there were two groups (never drinker and current drinker) for the analysis of alcohol consumption and drinking frequency. 4 Model 1: Crude model. 5 Model 2: Adjusted for age, marital status, BMI, nap frequency (continuous), food intake (continuous), moderate-vigorous physical activity (MET-h/d, continuous), and smoking (Yes/no)
