*Model 1: Bivariate analysis adjusted for age only (as linear variable). Model 1A included women only, Model 1B included men only. **Model 2: Models adjusted for age (as a linear variable), hypertension (hypertension/ no hypertension/ unknown), and diabetes (diabetes/ no diabetes/ unknown diabetes). Model 2A included women only, Model 2B included men only. ***Model 3: Models adjusted for age (as a linear variable) and BMI (<18.5 kg/m 2/ 18–24.9 kg/m 2/ 25–29.9 kg/m 2/ 30+kg/m 2). Model 3A included women only, Model 3B included men only. ****Model 4: Models adjusted for age (as a linear variable) and BMI (<18.5 kg/m 2/ 18–24.9 kg/m 2/ 25–29.9 kg/m 2/ 30+kg/m 2). Model 4A included women only, Model 4B included men only.
