Table 3.

Age- and sex-adjusted relationships between ADAMTS-13, VWF and continuous coronary risk factors amongst controls. General linear models were fitted with transformed VWF or ADAMTS-13 as dependent variables (transformations as in Table 1). Beta coefficients associated with each factor are shown with the P-value for test of no association
