Table 2. Odd Ratios (OR) and 95% CI for Insulin Variables and CHD From Multiple Logistic Regression Analyses: the Rancho Bernardo Study, 1992-1996.
Variable* | OR | 95% Cl | P |
---|---|---|---|
Men | |||
Fasting Insulin | 0.85 | 0.56-1.31 | 0.46 |
Postchallenge Insulin | 1.17 | 0.83-1.66 | 0.36 |
Proinsulin | 2.41 | 1.42-4.11 | 0.001 |
C-peptide | 1.07 | 0.61-1.88 | 0.82 |
Women | |||
Fasting Insulin | 1.25 | 0.89-1.76 | 0.20 |
Postchallenge Insulin | 1.44 | 1.06-1.96 | 0.02 |
Proinsulin | 1.80 | 1.22-2.64 | 0.003 |
C-peptide | 1.32 | 0.88-1.97 | 0.18 |
Covariates were age, BMI (body mass index), systolic blood pressure, HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, and current estrogen use (women).
The log-odds for CHD increase for every 1-unit increase in the independent variable. confidence interval (CI); coronary heart disease (CHD)
