a Logistic regression model fit after stepwise selection (SLE = .15, SLS = .05) from categorical explanatory variables: race, risk factors at LRC and at PFS (TG, HDLC, LDLC, BMI, BP and glucose), changes of risk factors from LRC to PFS (TG, HDLC, LDLC, BMI, BP and glucose), cigarette smoking (yes/no), parents had CVD (yes/no), parents had CVD before age 50 (yes/no), and parents had CVD before age 60 (yes/no), and age at PFS.
