Analysis was performed using marginal models with generalized estimating equations. Model 1 is unadjusted; Model 2 is adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI); Model 3 is adjusted for age, sex, BMI, smoking, hypertension, and prior cardiovascular disease. Associations are reported as the β estimate and its 95% confidence interval (CI).
