  1. Bold P values indicate significance. Mode 1 was adjusted for age and gender. Mode 2 was further adjusted for BMI, SBP, LDL-C, HDL-C, history of hyperlipidemia, hypertension and diabetes based on Model 1
  2. Disease history included hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes. The presence of any of such diseases is considered to be having a history
  3. BMI body mass index, SBP systolic blood pressure, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
