^†Model 1 was adjusted for age. Model 2 adjusted for age, systolic blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-choleseterol, fasting glucose, smokng, and alcohol consumption. Model 3 was adjusted for age and body mass index.

^*All models were adjusted for population in addition to the total participants.
