Model 1 adjusted for age and smoking.

Model 2 adjusted for age, smoking, HOMA-IR, hypertension and dyslipidemia.

Model 3 adjusted for age, smoking, HOMA-IR, hypertension, dyslipidemia, total testosterone (proportion above vs. below detection limit) and estradiol (proportion above vs. below detection limit).
