Cl= confidence interval

Model 1: Adjusted for age, Model 2: Adjusted for Age, smoking and history of heart failure. (The variable Waist circumference was available in less subjects than those included in table 3)

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