  • Values were calculated using a multivariable logistic regression analysis.

  • All analyses used integrated weight values.

  • Model 1: adjusted for age. Model 2: adjusted for age, smoking status, alcohol consumption and frequency of physical activity. Model 3: adjusted for age, smoking status, alcohol consumption, frequency of physical activity, educational level, the status of basic livelihood security recipient and history of stroke.
