Notes: All relationships are adjusted for age, sex and race; weight was additionally adjusted for in models with left ventricular mass indexed for body height^1.7 as dependent variable. Significant associations are shown in bold.

Abbreviations: Log, logarithmically transformed; β, regression coefficient; SE, standard error of the mean.
