Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; OR, odds ratio; SBP, systolic blood pressure, TC, total cholesterol.

Differences were estimated as case controls using generalised estimation equation models, adjusting for each variable shown as well as age, sex, and deprivation fifth.
