  • Linear regression analyses adjusting for the following variables.

  • Minimally adjusted: age and sex.

  • Fully adjusted: age, sex, study site, alcohol use, physical activity and years of education.

  • Bold denotes p value <0.05.

  • Reference: participants who currently do not live with a tobacco smoker who regularly smokes in the home.

  • LV, left ventricular; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion.
