Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, heavy alcohol intake, regular exercise, and education level. Model 2 was adjusted as in Model 1 plus for metabolic components including MBP, glucose, hemoglobin A1c, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Model 3 was adjusted as in Model 2 plus high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and variables with a P value < 0.05 in the univariate analyses.

MBP = Diastolic Blood Pressure (Average Systolic Blood Pressure − Average Diastolic Blood Pressure)/3.

FEV1% = percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second, FVC% = percent predicted forced vital capacity, LLN = lower limit of normal, FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second, FVC = forced vital capacity, MBP = mean blood pressure.
