Obesity status is dichotomous, and HRs are presented for obesity (defined as body mass index ≥30 kg/m2). Multivariable model is adjusted for age, sex, diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, hypertension treatment, smoking status, and cholesterol ratio. Values of P <0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance.
