The association of left ventricular hypertrophy and risk of stroke
| Model I | Model II | Model III | Model IV | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Odds ratios relative to subjects without LVH, with 95% confidence intervals. *Ischaemic, including subjects with unspecified stroke. Model I: Adjusted for age and sex; Model II: Adjusted for age, sex and systolic blood pressure; Model III: Adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, and body mass index; Model IV: Adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, diastolic blood pressure, hypertension, current smoking and diabetes mellitus. | ||||
