*In both sexes, all the variables presented in the table were included in a backward stepwise elimination procedure with a P value to exit set at >0.10. Empty cells refer to the variables excluded from the logistic models in men and women, respectively.
†Cut off point for waist-to-hip ratio: ≤0.95 in men and ≤0.86 (median in controls) in women.
