Note: BMI = body mass index; CI = confidence interval; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; OR = odds ratio; SBP = systolic blood pressure.

*p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001.

All continuous predictors are shown per Z score, standardized to baseline visit mean and standard deviation.

Demographic adjusted model was adjusted for sex, black race, education level (<HS, HS/GED, >HS), and study site.
