Regression coefficients are derived from median regression analysis. Model 1 adjusted for age, gender, race, MESA site, and follow-up duration. Model 2 adjusted for age, gender, race, MESA site, follow-up duration, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cigarette smoking, family history of CHD, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and cholesterol-lowering medications. Race was not adjusted for race-specific analyses. Adjustment for type of scanner used to access CAC, systolic blood pressure as a continuous variable, creatinine, or estimated glomerular filtration rate had no significant impact on the results.
