a

Crude Model: no adjustment.

b

Adjusted Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, marital status, education level, income.

c

Adjusted Model 2: also adjusted for smoking, alcohol drinking, vegetables and fruits intake, high fat diet, physical activity, family history of hypertension, body mass index, type 2 diabetes and hypertension medicine use (not in logistic regression).
