Sex-Stratified Multivariable Regression Analyses

Cardiac mechanics parameter	Subgroup	Waist:hip ratio
Cardiac mechanics parameter	Subgroup
		β-Coefficient (95% CI)	P-value
Early diastolic (e’) velocity, cm/s	Male (n=909)	−0.29 (−0.42, −0.16)	<0.001
	Female (n=1272)	−0.09 (−0.16, −0.01)	0.02

BMI, body-mass index; CI, confidence interval. Beta-coefficients are per 1-SD increase in waist circumference.

Adjusted for age, sex, race, physical activity (average number of blocks walked per day), body-mass index, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, smoking status, serum fasting glucose, total cholesterol, estimated glomerular filtration rate, anti-hypertensive medication use, left ventricular mass, wall motion abnormalities, ejection fraction, center, speckle-tracking analyst, and image quality.
