| Outcomes | OR | 95% CI | p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| CVD | |||
| A positive model | 1.44 | (1.04, 1.99) | 0.028 |
| A negative model | 1.30 | (0.95, 1.77) | 0.102 |
OR estimates reflect the odds ratios of CVD with a one-quartile increase in the WQS index. Models were adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, PIR, BMI, smoking status, hypertension, diabetes, total cholesterol, and eGFR.
