*Models adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, multimorbidity, unintentional loss of weight, smoking habits, schooling years, physical activity and antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs. Bold indicates significance according to p-values and confidence interval. Comparisons were performed between condition (e.g., CLI-HTN) versus non-condition (e.g., NON-CLI-HTN), with the last used as the reference group.
