Main predictors | Odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval) | p-values | |
---|---|---|---|
Model 3. Subgroup without CAD (N= 250) |
• Lower 3 quartiles of SLZ | 1.00 (reference) | 0.31 |
• 4th quartile of SLZ | 1.63 (0.64 - 4.15) | ||
Model 4. Subgroup with CAD (N= 250) |
• Lower three quartiles of SLZ | 1.00 (reference) | 0.02 |
• 4th quartile of SLZ | 1.97 (1.09 - 3.56) |
• Model 3 is adjusted for age, sex, smoking (in 3 categories), education, and log-transformed CRP.
• Model 4 is adjusted for Age, Sex, Smoking (in 3 categories), Education, Total cholesterol (log-transformed) and CRP (log-transformed).
