Proximal and distal results are reported from models within each region separately and reflect number of persons with specific regional results. Interaction results are reported from the model with all data together and required data from either or both regions. (ie, those with at least one Doppler assessment). People missing proximal results (n=905) were excluded only from the proximal region analysis, people missing distal results (n=54) were excluded only from the distal region analysis. Patients with postexercise proximal disease in either leg (n=2324) were excluded from this analysis. No disease was the reference group. ABI indicates ankle brachial index; CHD, coronary heart disease; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; CKD, chronic kidney disease; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CVD, cerebrovascular disease; OR, odds ratio.
