Multivariable-adjusted regressions for Thoracic Peri-aortic Fat with the presence or absence of Thoracic or Abdominal Aortic calcification, with and without adjustment for metabolic risk factors and other measures of adiposity. Data presented as odds ratio of thoracic or abdominal aortic calcification per 1 standard deviation increase of thoracic peri-aortic fat.
