Data are expressed as adjusted odd ratio (OR) values and 95% confidence intervals (CI).

BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDLc, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TNF-α, tumor necrosis alpha; HGF, hepatocyte growth factor; IL-8, interleukin 8; PAI-1, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1.

^*Not applicable. OR value (95% CI) in univariable analysis with p-value > 0.05.
