Logistic regression of component factors in cardiovascular disease risk, adjusted for age and gender.

CVD complication B exponential = Odds Ratio(95%CI)*
All complications Females;OR = 2.26(1.48–3.47)
Metabolic syndrome (WHO criteria);OR = 3.48(2.26–5.37)
Metabolic syndrome (IDF criteria);OR = 2.28(1.84–4.90)
Coronary Metabolic syndrome (WHO criteria);OR = 3.10(1.48–6.49)
Metabolic syndrome (IDF criteria);OR = 1.96(1.15–4.89)
Cerebrovascular Females;OR = 2.46(1.06–5.37)
Metabolic syndrome (NCEP criteria);OR = 2.59(1.26–5.27)
Peripheral vascular Females; OR = 3.61(1.72–7.55)
Metabolic syndrome (WHO criteria);OR = 2.26(1.11–4.61)
Metabolic syndrome (NCEP criteria);OR = 2.74(1.82–5.33)
Retinopathy Metabolic syndrome (NCEP criteria);OR = 2.80(1.07–7.34)
