AF, atrial fibrillation; ANCOVA, analysis of covariance; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level; HbA1c, glycosylated hemoglobin; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SD, standard deviation; TC, total cholesterol level.
Adjusted means were estimated using ANCOVA, and adjusted prevalences were estimated using logistic regression after adjusting for age (65 years).
aP < 0.05 compared to the adjusted mean in community dwellers by ANCOVA.
bP < 0.05 compared to the adjusted prevalence in community dwellers by logistic regression analysis.
chsCRP data are expressed as age-adjusted geometric means (95% CI).
