Note
The limited model includes age, sex, race/ethnicity, height, and weight. The adjusted model includes the limited model plus education, income, smoking status, presence of hypertension or diabetes mellitus, cholesterol level, and impaired glucose tolerance. CI: confidence interval; EDV: end-diastolic volume; EF: ejection fraction; LV: left ventricle; SV: stroke volume.
