Model 1: adjusted for age, smoking, the use of drugs for hypercholesterolemia, hormone replacement therapy, and cardiovascular diseases at baseline. Model 2: adjusted for variables in model 1 and change in waist circumference during follow-up. Model 3: adjusted for variables in model 1 and change in triglycerides during follow-up. Model 4: adjusted for variables in model 1 and change in HDL cholesterol during follow-up. Model 5: adjusted for variables in model 1 and change in blood glucose during follow-up. Model 6: adjusted for variables in model 1 and change in systolic blood pressure during follow-up.
