MESA Imputation Models

MESA Imputation Model Equation to Estimate LDLuntreated Residual Standard Error R2
Model 1 98.3 + 0.42LDLtreated 27.3 0.19
Model 2 64.8 + 0.51LDLtreated +27.9 statin 26.1 0.26
Model 3 62.2 + 0.50LDLtreated + 26.8 statin + 11.1 highdose 25.6 0.29

Notes: statin=1 if participant is taking a statin, 0 if participant is only taking another type of lipid lowering medication (fibrate, resin or niacin); highdose=1 if participant was prescribed a higher than average dose of the drug (see methods).
