Notes: BMI, body mass index; D-value, difference value between follow-up and baseline; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval. a Logistic regression models were used, adjusting for age, BMI, SBP and DBP at baseline; b Logistic regression models were used, adjusting for variables in model 1 as well as smoking habits, alcohol consumption and place of residence at baseline; c Significantly greater odds, p < 0.05.
