Data are from the subset of subjects without known cardiovascular disease (n = 1595). The CD34+ variable is log transformed. Coefficients (SE) represent change logCD34+ per increase in the value of the covariates shown (by 1 SD for continuous variables). In age- and sex-adjusted models, the association with age is adjusted for sex and the association with sex is adjusted for age.
