  1. CI: Confidence Interval; BMI: body mass index; BP: blood pressure; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance; HDL-c: High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; IL: interleukin; TNFα: tumour necrosis factor alpha; MMP-9: matrix metalloproteinase-9; MPO: myeloperoxidase; sICAM-1: soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1; PAI-1: plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. β coefficients represent the change in absolute traits values of each additional risk allele. General linear models were used to examine associations, P adjusted by age and sex, Pa adjusted by age, sex, and BMI.
