Multiple adjusted models without adjusted LAD/BSA: adjusting for factors including demographic characteristics, lifestyles, prevalent valvular heart disease, heart failure and coronary heart disease, anti-hypertensive drug treatment, anti-diabetic drug treatment, anti-hyperlipidemia drug treatment, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and family income. Multiple adjusted models with adjusted LAD/BSA: adjusting for factors including LAD/BSA, demographic characteristics, life styles, prevalent valvular heart disease, heart failure and coronary heart disease, anti-hypertensive drug treatment, anti-diabetic drug treatment, anti-hyperlipidemia drug treatment, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and family income.
LAD - left atrial diameter; BSA - body surface area; OR - odds ratio; CI - confidence interval
