DELC: diagonal earlobe crease, unilateral, and bilateral. cOR: crude odds ratio, aOR: odds ratio adjusted for confounding variables (sex: male/female and age strata ≤55 years and ≥56 years). P < 0.05 means statistically significant and is marked in bold. CI: confidence interval. CVRF: cardiovascular risk factors. ACS: acute coronary syndrome. Individuals without CVRF and ACS were set as the reference (control) group for association analysis.
