DC (n = 2634)	β	95% CI	p
Model 1	–0.219	–0.347 – –0.091	0.001
Model 2	–0.098	–0.231 – 0.034	0.147

Notes: Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, heart rate, and mean arterial pressure; Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, body mass index, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, diabetes mellitus, and smoking; Model 3: adjusted for age, sex, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, body mass index, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, diabetes mellitus, smoking, and measures of atherosclerosis; Presented values are natural-log transformed.
