Notes: Model 1 Adjusted for sex, age. Model 2 Adjusted for sex, age, living status, marital status, hypertension, body mass index. Model 3 Adjusted for sex, age, living status, marital status, hypertension, body mass index, and physical activity. Model 3a Adjusted for the same covariates as in Model 3, restricted to females. Model 3b Adjusted for the same covariates as in Model 3, restricted to extremely old group (>80).

Abbreviations: OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
