B: Unstandardised regression coefficient. Models were adjusted for age, gender, educational level, living status, BMI, hyperlipidaemia, hypertension, diabetes, cognitive function, nutritional status, alcohol, smoking, and accelerometer wear time. 95% CIs that did not include zero were highlighted in bold
^a Variables were log-transformed prior to the analyses
