↵* Model 1 adjusted for age (year), sex, body mass index (kg/m2), current alcohol intake (g/day), smoking status (never, former and current smoker), menopausal status (pre- and post-menopause) and community. Model 2 adjusted for the covariates included in model 1 and hypertension (yes and no), hypercholesterolaemia (yes and no) and diabetes mellitus (yes and no).
hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C reactive protein; ODI, oxygen desaturation index.
