Multiple logistic regressions were used to determine the association of cardiometabolic risk factors with electrocardiographic LVH.

Model 1 adjusted for age, BP ≥ 130/85 mmHg, total cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dl, HDL-C < 40 mg/dl, serum triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dl, fasting glucose ≥ 100 mg/dl, serum uric acid ≥ 7.0 mg/dl, waist circumference ≥ 90 mg/dl, metabolic syndrome status, cigarette smoking status and alcohol intake status.

Model 2 adjusted for the covariates in model 1 and 3000-m running time.

BP Blood pressure, HDL-C High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LVH Left ventricular hypertrophy.
