Data presented as median (25th, 75th percentile).

P values for trend were calculated with the use of Spearman correlation or Cochrane-Armitage tests, where appropriate.

*P value for trend <0.01.

†P value for trend <0.001.

ABI, ankle brachial index; EF, ejection fraction; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC, forced vital capacity; PHQ-9, Patient Health Questionnaire.
