^*Per unit of measurement for each index. Each variable 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; WC - waist circumference; HC - hip circumference; WHpR - waist-to-hip ratio; WHtR - waist-to-height ratio
