  1. Model 1: adjusted for age and sex;
  2. Model 2: further adjusted for current smoking, education attainment, family history of cardiovascular disease, and physical activity;
  3. Model 3: further adjusted for hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, C-reactive protein, basal fat%, basal FFM%, and body mass index
  4. *All covariates in models were from the data collected in 2013–2014
