Model 1: Adjusted for age, Model 2: Adjusted for Age, smoking and history of heart failure.

Interaction between Body mass index and Waist to hip ratio (in a model with Body mass index and waist hip ratio), was not statistically significant (p=>0.05).

^*Waist to hip ratio sex-adjusted tertiles (male Low Tertiles: <0.94, Middle Tertile: 0.94 to <1.01, High Tertile: ≥1.01; women Low Tertile : <0.83, Middle Tertile: 0.83 to <0.89, High Tertile: ≥0.89)
