ARIC, Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HbA1c, glycated haemoglobin; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SCORE, Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation; WC, waist circumference.

Model 1: Unadjusted model.

Model 2: Adjusted for age, gender, education level and total physical activity.
