Model 1 was adjusted for age and sex. Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, waist circumference, smoking, alcohol intake, regular exercise, anti-hypertensive medication, dyslipidemia medication, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, log-transformed triglyceride, HDL cholesterol and log-transformed hs-CRP.
