Unadjusted values shown as mean±SD or frequency (%). Adjusted values shown as LSmean±SE adjusted for sex, race, and BMI and total number of comorbidities. KCCQ scores range 0–100, with higher score meaning better health status. MoCA score ranges 0–30 with higher score meaning better cognitive function. GDS-15 score ranges 0–15 with higher score meaning worse depressive symptoms.

Abbreviations: KCCQ: Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire; PCS: physical composite score; MCS: mental composite score; MoCA: Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
