Model 1: Adjusted for sex, age, education, years of hypertension diagnosis, depression, smoking habit, alcohol consumption, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, BMI, and CVD history. Model 2: Adjusted for model 1 covariables plus levels of plasma glucose, eGFR, HbA1c, and LDL-C. Model 3: Adjusted for model 2 covariables plus treatment with biguanide, statins, and insulin.
