Association of leptin* with incident any and ischemic stroke (IS) **

HR [CI] (p-value)
Stroke IS
Model 1 0.94 [0.78, 1.13] (0.49) 0.96 [0.78, 1.17] (0.65)
Model 2 0.90 [0.73, 1.09] (0.27) 0.89 [0.72, 1.11] (0.28)

*

Sex-standardized natural logarithm of leptin;

**

Using an indicator of top sex-specific quartile.

HR: Hazard ratio; IS: Ischemic stroke;

CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio.

Model1: adjusted for age and sex; Model2: Model 1 plus systolic blood pressure, smoking, diabetes mellitus, Anti-hypertensive treatment, prevalent cardiovascular disease; Model3: Model 2 plus waist-hip ratio.
