Abbreviations: APN, adiponectin; BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; CI, confidence intervals; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; OR, odds ratios; PTA, pure tone average. Multiple regression model includes all variable at baseline with P<0.05 by single analysis. Statistically significant results (P<0.05) are shown in bold.
