  1. aData are expressed as mean (SD), median (min-max) and n (%)
  2. bBased on logistic regression with ASCA IgG dichotomized at cut-off 10 as the dependent variable and age, gender, BMI and one by one of the column variables as independent variables
  3. cAdjusted for age and gender only
  4. dCategories are collapsed as compared to originally four categories; no significant differences between the groups were seen when all original categories were included (data not shown)
  5. *Statistically significant P < 0.05
