*Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride concentrations (logged), waist–hip ratio (all entered as continuous variables), insulin resistance diabetes categories (indicator variables: fifths of HOMA score and diabetes).
†Body mass index, leg length, and trunk length (all entered as continuous variables).
‡All variables included in the five previous models.
§Fully adjusted = adjusted for the variables listed in first column; in each case the age adjusted estimate is based only on those with complete data included in the final fully adjusted model.
CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
