BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio; HOMA-IR, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; TG/HDL ratio, triglyceride-to-high density lipoprotein ratio; SBP, systolic blood pressure.

Hazard ratios are reported as 1 standard deviation increase in continuous predictor.

HOMA-IR, triglycerides, and TG/HDL ratio were log-transformed.

The multivariable model was adjusted for age, SBP (except SBP analyses), hypertension treatment, diabetes, smoking, prevalent myocardial infarction, total cholesterol, HDL (except TG/HDL analyses), left bundle branch block or left ventricular hypertrophy. HOMA-IR analyses excluded participants with diabetes.
