= total number of subjects, (%) = frequency of genotypes/alleles; age-adjusted OR (odds ratios) and 95% CI (confidence intervals) were derived from logistic regression models comparing the homozygous wild-type genotype/allele (GG genotype and G allele for TIMP-2 -418G/C and 303G/A were taken as reference) with other genotypes/alleles. Significant values () and related OR (95% CI) have been shown in bold.
