When adiponectin was analyzed categorically, the highest adiponectin tertile was associated with significantly greater risk for incident HF hospitalization (HR: 2.40; 95% CI: 1.71-3.38), HFpEF (HR: 2.33; 95% CI: 1.55-3.52), and CVD death (HR: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.32-3.29) compared with the lowest tertile after model 2 adjustment (Supplemental Table 4). Here, ADIPOQ is linked to hydrops fetalis.
