  • * Unadjusted.

  • Adjusted for age, ethnicity and sex.

  • Adjusted for age, ethnicity, sex, treatment group, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, previous cardiovascular disease, previous heart failure, height and fasting blood glucose.

  • § Adjusted using characteristics for Model 3 by adding to fat mass index.
