  1. Results are described as odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Model 1 was adjusted for age and gender; Model 2 was adjusted for age, gender, smoking status, alcohol intake, and regular exercise; Model 3 was adjusted for age, gender, smoking status, alcohol intake, regular exercise, SBP, and total cholesterol at the baseline
