  1. Mean (SD) for continuous variables: The P value was calculated by the weighted linear regression model.
  2. Percentages for categorical variables: The P value was calculated by the weighted chi-square test.
  3. CVH is categorized into 3 grades, low: LE8 score < 50, moderate:50 ≤ LE8 score < 80, high: LE8 score ≥ 80.
