* Multivariable adjusted HR = adjusted for sex, age, smoking status, exercise, family history of hypertension, stroke, diabetes mellitus, and heart disease, body mass index, hemoglobin, creatinine, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and alanine aminotransferase, and other metabolic components. CI, confidence intervals; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; HR, hazard ratio.
