Associations (as relative effects) with 95% confidence intervals and p-values between sST2 as the outcome and selected demographic, lifestyle and socio-economic status predictor variables univariately and adjusted for age, sex and their interaction*.

*Associations after adjustment for age and sex with interaction. Regression models were fitted with log sST2 as the outcome. Effect estimates are the relative change in sST2 for a specified increase in continuous predictor variables, or compared to the stated reference group for categorical predictors.**p-value = 0.0271 for the ineraction term of age and sex as predictors of log sST2.
