LVM, left ventricular mass; BMI, body mass index; LVDd, left ventricular diastolic diameter; LVSd, left ventricular systolic diameter; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; IVS, interventricular septum; PWT, posterior wall thickness; NAFL, nonalcoholic fatty liver; ICM, ischemic cardiomyopathy; DM, diabetes mellitus; CKD, chronic kidney disease, TG, triglycerides; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide; TC, total cholesterol; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein.

P ≤ 0.1 and P ≤ 0.05 were regarded as statistically significant during univariate linear regression and multivariate stepwise regression, respectively.
