  1. As independent variables, obesity uses three categorizations (normal, overweight and obese), diabetes uses three (normal glucose tolerance, prediabetes and diabetes) while LV mass and sleep apnea use four categorizations (none, mild, moderate and severe). As dependent variables, they are all dichotomized
