  1. SD standard deviation
  2. aValues are mean ± SD or number of subjects. Percentage of subjects is in brackets
  3. †To test statistical differences among clusters, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for continuous variables and the Chi-square test was used for categorical variables. For smoking and living status, Fisher’s exact test was used to test statistical differences. P-values for past history or medication were not calculated because of the limited number of subjects in each cluster
