  1. Inverse normal transformation was applied to raw values of metabolites. To build the score, we applied a weighted sum of concentrations of 4 metabolites in the choline pathway (betaine, choline, TMA and TMAO). The ratio of betaine/choline was calculated by dividing the raw values and then applying inverse normal transformations
  2. TMA, trimethylamine; TMAO, trimethylamine N-oxide
  3. a Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex, smoking index and body mass index
  4. b Model 2 was adjusted for all factors in model 1, plus history of disease (i.e., hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia)
  5. c Model 3 was adjusted for all factors in model 2, plus kidney function measured by eGFR
  6. d The regression coefficient represented the average difference in the Gensini score per 1-SD increase in the transformed levels of metabolites
