Standardized regression parameters of MIMIC models of BFV on subject background characteristics.

Controls Diabetes Hypertension Stroke
Standardized Regression Coefficients
Age − 0.26* −0.14 −0.20 −0.18*
Male sex −0.13 −0.13 −0.12 −0.98*
African-American −0.34 −0.34 −0.31 −0.31

Ever Smoked −0.15 −0.15 −0.14 −0.14
Current alcohol use 0.28 0.29 0.26 0.26

Table entries are standardized regression coefficients and describe the per standard deviation (SD) increase in BFV per SD increase in the predictor for continuous predictors (age, BMI, SBP) and the SD difference in BFV for subjects with the characteristic for the binary predictors (male sex, African-American race, smoking history, and current alcohol use). Boldface indicates significant group differences in the effect of the predictor relative to other groups
