Table 4 The risk factors of LVH

Variables	Odds ratio	95% CI	P
Age,year	1.06	1.05-1.07	<0.001
Sex (0 = male,1 = female)	1.94	1.38-2.74	<0.001
SBP,mmHg	1.02	1.01-1.03	<0.001
BMI, kg/m ²	1.19	1.14-1.24	<0.001
Cholesterol, mmol/L	0.876	0.759-1.010	0.069
HDL, mmol/L	0.66	0.42-1.05	0.079
Drinking history (0 = no,1 = yes)	0.69	0.47-1.02	0.060

Odds ratio was relative to no LVH. Adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, smoking history, drinking history, history of diabetes. P value for variables to enter or stay in the model was set at <0.10. CI, confidential interval.
