* Statistical significance for univariate beta estimate; ** Multivariable linear regression model when testing each variable was separately adjusted for age, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, systolic blood pressure, left ventricular ejection fraction, and weighted by sex and the history of myocardial infarction. Abbreviations: CRP-C—reactive protein; HDL—high-density lipoprotein; HbA1c—glycated hemoglobin; hs-cTnI—high sensitivity cardiac troponin I; LDL—low-density lipoprotein; NT-proBNP—N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide; NYHA—New York Heart Association; WHR—Waist-to-Hip Ratio. Bold: statistical significance <0.05.
