^*Per one standard deviation increase for each index. Because of strong correlations among these variables, each one was evaluated in a separate model.

^**Adjusted for age, smoking, education, and family history of hypertension, diabetes, triglyceride/HDL-C ratio

OR - odds ratio; CI - confidence interval; BMI - body mass index; HDL - high-density lipoprotein; WC - waist circumference; WHpR - waist-to-hip ratio; WHtR - waist-to-height ratio
