Notes: OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; CVA: cerebrovascular accident; AMI: acute myocardial infarction; DM2: Diabetes mellitus type 2; HTA: Hypertension; multimorbidity: ≥2 chronic diseases; abdominal obesity according waist circumference (men > 102 cm and women > 88 cm); obesity according to mass index body (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2), and adiposity measured by DXA (60th percentile for fat mass). Bold values represent statistically significant results at p < 0.05.
