Table 5.
Mortality effect of the inflammatory index score (IIS) across different age strata
| cohort | Age | HR | lower CI | upper CI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CHS | (65, 70) | 1814 (35%) | 1.69 | 1.54 | 1.87 |
| (70, 80) | 2724 (53%) | 1.67 | 1.57 | 1.78 | |
| 80+ | 638 (19%) | 1.53 | 1.39 | 1.68 | |
| InCHIANTI | (65, 70) | 279 (28%) | 1.65 | 1.03 | 2.66 |
| (70, 80) | 471 (48%) | 1.46 | 1.20 | 1.76 | |
| 80+ | 240 (24%) | 1.54 | 1.34 | 1.76 | |
Note: The likelihood ratio test for age interaction was significant in the CHS (p = 0.04), but not in InCHIANTI (p = .88).
