Comparison of metabolic syndrome with its components in separate multivariable linear models of log-transformed sTxB₂

Model*	Estimate	P
Model 1: Metabolic Syndrome†	0.441	0.006
Model 2: Low HDL‡	0.172	0.26
Model 3: Elevated triglycerides§	0.118	0.52
Model 4: Elevated fasting glucose||	0.244	0.09
Model 5: Elevated waist circumference¶	0.282	0.09

^*In addition to the variable listed, all models adjust for age, sex, smoking status (current/former vs. never), platelet count, and aspirin formulation (enteric-coated vs. immediate-release). The P value corresponds to the listed variable in the model.

^†AHA/NHLBI criteria.²⁴

^‡HDL < 1.03 mmol/L (40mg/dL) for men, < 1.29 mmol/L (50 mg/dL) for women.

^§Triglycerides ≥ 1.69 mmol/L (150 mg/dL)

^||Fasting glucose ≥ 5.56 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) or diagnosis of diabetes

^¶Waist circumference ≥ 102 cm (40 inches) for men, ≥ 88 cm (35 inches) for women
