Table 4. Multivariate logistic regressions of LV systolic dysfunction by GLS with abnormal WHR in obese and non-obese participants.

	Adjusted OR (95% CI)	P value
BMI < 30 (n=522)
Normal WHR	Reference	-
High WHR	2.0 (1.1-3.6)	0.020

BMI ≥ 30 (n=207)
Normal WHR	Reference	-
High WHR	5.4 (1.1-25.9)	0.034

Values in table are adjusted ORs and 95% CI for abnormal GLS. OR: Odds ratio. CI: Confidence interval. WHR: Waist-to-hip ratio. Covariates: Age, sex, hypertension, anti-hypertensive medications, diabetes, coronary artery disease, cigarette smoking, education level, race-ethnicity, LV mass/height^2.7, LV mass/volume, and E/e′.
