Odds Ratios for Statin Use in Individuals Without Coronary Artery Disease or Diabetes
| Characteristic | Odds Ratio (95% CI) | P Value |
|---|---|---|
| Hyperlipidemia | 91.65 (60.27–139.36) | <.001 |
| Age (per year) | 1.06 (1.05–1.07) | <.001 |
| Hypertension | 1.35 (1.12–1.64) | .001 |
| Sex (male) | 1.33 (1.12–1.59) | .002 |
| Cerebrovascular disease | 1.52 (1.01–2.29) | .047 |
| Peripheral arterial disease | 1.59 (0.61–4.16) | .34 |
| Tobacco use | 1.00 (0.79–1.27) | .99 |
Notes: An odds ratio exceeding 1 indicates higher likelihood of statin use. Odds ratios are adjusted for insurance status, race, and poverty category.
