Values presented as mean (95% CI) difference in LVM and LVEF.

Model 1: Adjusted for age, sex and education.

Model 2: Model 1 + BMI, tobacco use, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, lipid-lowering medications, history of CHD, history of stroke, history of diabetes, hemoglobin and eGFR/ACR (adjusting for the alternative kidney disease marker).

Model 3: Model 2 + systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and hypertension medications. ref, reference.
