Linear regression analyses adjusting for the following variables.

Minimally adjusted: age and sex.

Fully adjusted: age, sex, study site, alcohol use, physical activity and years of education.

Bold denotes p value <0.05.

Reference: participants who report no childhood or adolescent/adult chronic household exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke.

LV, left ventricular; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion.
