  1. Values of r represent correlation coefficient. Values of β are standardized regression coefficients. P r represents the significance for r. Pβ represents the significance for β. BMI was estimated after adjustment for gender and age. Other variables were estimated after adjustment for gender, age and BMI. *p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01
