Table 4.
Odds ratios and 95% CI for the presence of CVD at time of inclusion in 126 men undergoing HDa
| Parameter | Odds Ratio (95% CI) | P Value |
|---|---|---|
| Intercept | <0.0001 | |
| Age 45 to 64 yr | 3.58 (1.07 to 11.90) | 0.037 |
| Age >65 yr | 5.94 (1.79 to 19.76) | 0.003 |
| SHBG < 21 nmol/L, lower tertile | 0.73 (0.29 to 1.83) | 0.511 |
| Testosterone 8.1 to 12.0 nmol/L, middle tertile | 2.60 (0.99 to 6.79) | 0.050 |
| Testosterone ≤8.1 nmol/L, lower tertile | 3.32 (1.16 to 9.48) | 0.024 |

The adjusted r2 of the model was 0.18. For conversion of SHBG to μg/dl, divide by 0.025; and for conversion of testosterone to ng/dl, divide by 0.0347.
