Simple model: Adjusted for age, sex, and cohort.

Multivariable model: Additionally adjusted for height, weight, smoking, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides, total/HDL cholesterol, waist circumference, heart rate, moderate/severe alcohol consumption, diabetes, hypertension treatment, prevalent myocardial infarction, prevalent AF, prevalent heart failure, and AV node blockers.
