1Tests for trend were conducted by treating the tertiles as a continuous variable and assigning the median for each quintile.

Model 1: Unadjusted; Model 2: Adjusted for age, sex and education. Model 3: Adjusted for age, sex, education, hypertension, history of stroke, SBP, HbA1c, HDL, insulin or metformin usage and serum tHcy.
