Statistical analysis using multivariable linear regression modeling to determine independent association between cardiovascular risk parameters and both Framingham and SCORE predictive risk estimations. Variables entered into the stepwise regression model included monocyte count, BMI, and waist circumference

Parameter	Framingham			SCORE
	β	t value	p value	β	t value	p value
Monocytes	0.014	0.528	0.598	0.064	2.474	0.013
BMI	−0.073	−1.734	0.083	−0.181	−4.491	<0.0005
Waist circumference	0.252	5.954	<0.0005	0.436	10.709	<0.0005

Abbreviations: β, Beta coefficient; BMI, body mass index; t value, t value for beta coefficient.
