aAdjusted covariates:
Model 1 = Unadjusted.
Model 2 = Model 1 + age, sex, race/ethnicity, BMI, systolic blood pressure, serum fasting glucose, serum cholesterol, serum albumin, ALT, serum uric acid, C-reactive protein.
Model 3 = Model 2 + history of congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, angina/angina pectoris, heart attack, stroke, cancer/malignancy, smoking, moderate to vigorous recreational activity.
bβ coefficients was interpreted as change of telomere length for each increase in different anthropometric parameters.
Abbreviation:
