  1. aValues are the odds ratio with 95% confidence interval in parentheses; P − values in brackets
  2. bSince the apelin gene is on the X chromosome (only one copy), it is irrelevant to present the genotype data for males
  3. Significance levels: * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01 based on the results of a chi-squared test
