Model 1 adjusts for age, gender, race, smoking (never/former/current and pack-years), education and income.
Model 2 adjusts for variables in Model 1, plus body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, use of anti-hypertensive medications, diabetes, HDL cholesterol, CRP, and fibrinogen. RR=rate ratio. P-values indicate the overall test of the variable in the model. Individual contrast p-values are displayed only if the overall test was significant at the p<0.01 level.
