  1. aFor continuous variables, the odds ratio refers to the change per unit of a given variable
  2. *"Multimorbidities” is a continuous variable and reflects the sum of 9 comorbidities: Hypertension, diabetes, obesity, coronary artery disease, heart failure, history of stroke, lung disease, dementia, cancer
  3. **p = 0.013 after adjustment for age, coronary artery disease and heart failure
