  1. Adjusted regression coefficient for age, sex and ethnicity
  2. General linear regression method applied. Models assumptions were fulfilled. There were no interactions among independent variables. No multicollinearity detected. Ethnicity was coded as dummy variables whereby Malay was coded as 0, while Chinese, Indian and others ethnicity were coded as 1. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001
