Inverse probability weighting was used.

Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, race/center.

Model 2: adjusted for model 1 plus education and drinking status.

Model 3: adjusted for model 2 plus coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, beta-blockers, and calcium-channel blockers (measured at Visit 6).
