Associations of S-Hcy levels with risk of cardiovascular diseases grouped together (A) and dementia subgroups considered together (B) as the dependent variable
Cut-off level for S-Hcy | Odds ratio [95% confidence interval] | |
---|---|---|
A | B | |
14.0 μmol/l | 1.81 [1.01–3.23] | 1.50 [0.50–4.46] |
14.5 μmol/l | 2.05 [1.14–3.70] | 1.92 [0.64–5.79] |
15.0 μmol/l | 1.74 [0.96–3.16] | 1.90 [0.63–5.68] |
None (S-Hcy continuous) | 1.06 [1.00–1.12] | 1.09 [0.99–1.20] |
Results are from logistic regression analysis adjusting for gender, age at baseline (years), follow-up interval (months), body mass index (kg/m2), current smoking (yes/no), alcohol use (weekly use yes/no), use of NSAID (weekly use yes/no), P-total cholesterol (mmol/l) and P-triglycerides (mmol/l)
