BP, blood pressure; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SE, standard error.
Multivariate models showing coefficients and standard errors (in parentheses) per 1% change in LVGFI.
Multivariable linear regression models showing unadjusted and adjusted coefficients and standard errors for LVGFI as the outcome and the above listed cardiovascular risk factors.
Models are adjusted for age, sex, race, heart rate, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, anti-hypertension medication use, HDL-C, total cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking status, as appropriate.
