Note: The odds ratio (OR) was adjusted for all variables in the column; an OR < 1 indicates a lower probability of attaining the risk factor treatment target in comparison to the reference group. (*) Self‐reported smoking status; a bold value indicates statistical significance (p < 0.05). The risk factor control target defined as follows: SBP < 140 mmHg; LDL‐C < 1.8 mmol/L; BMI = 20–25 kg/m2; smoking status = self‐reported smoking cessation or not smoking; and antithrombotic use = the use of anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents or their combination.
Abbreviations: BMI = body mass index, CI = confidence intervals, LDL‐C = low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, NA = not applicable, SBP = systolic blood pressure.
