Model I=adjusted for sex and year of birth. Model II=adjusted for sex, year of birth, and smoking status. Model III=adjusted for sex, year of birth, and low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration without statin treatment. Model IV=adjusted for sex, year of birth, smoking status, high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations, diabetes, and hypertension.
