  1. *denotes p < 0.05.
  2. Note: Univariate models do not adjust for any other variables in the model. Model 1 adjusts for all variables in the table except for body mass index (BMI), including site indicator variable, gender, age, income, number of goods owned, and car ownership; model 2 adds BMI to these variables in model 1.
  3. Includes subjects with complete covariate information (n = 2,101).
