The coefficients for the smoking variables have been adjusted for the effects of age, sex, SBP, DBP, total cholesterol/HDL ratio, triglycerides, diabetes and alcohol. The reference category for a categorical variable is in the parentheses.

*,**,*** and ****

indicate P<0.0001, 0.001, 0.01 and 0.05, respectively. The statistical tests presented at the bottom of the table are for the full model versus the null model.
