Age-, sex-, and race-adjusted prevalence of PAD or borderline PAD at follow-up examination (2007–2010) by baseline (1967–1973) RF status. *P value for trend across 4 RF groups. †P<0.05, ‡P<0.01, §P<0.001: P value for pairwise comparison with the 2+ RFs as reference group. **Baseline RF profile: LR, favorable level of all major CVD RFs (SBP/DBP ≤120/≤80 mm Hg and no antihypertensive medication, serum total cholesterol <200 mg/dL and no lipid-lowering medication, not smoking, BMI <25 kg/m2, and no diabetes); 0 RFs, borderline level of SBP/DBP or serum total cholesterol, not smoking, BMI 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2, no diabetes; RF, high SBP/DBP (≥140/90) or using antihypertensive medication, serum total cholesterol ≥240 mg/dL or using lipid-lowering medication, smoking, BMI ≥30.0 kg/m2, or diabetes. PAD indicates peripheral arterial disease; RF, risk factor; LR, low risk; CVD, cardiovascular disease; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; BMI, body mass index.
