Table 3.

Leukocyte telomere length according to SDF-1 quartiles

Ln (SDF-1) quartiles	Quartile 1^* (n=270)	Quartile 2^* (n=325)	Quartile 3^* (n=295)	Quartile 4^* (n=295)	p-value per quartile increment in ln(SDF-1)	p-value^† per 1 SD^‡ increment in ln(SDF-1)
Leukocyte telomere length, LTL (kbps)
Model 1	7.0 (0.03)	7.0 (0.03)	7.0 (0.03)	6.9 (0.03)	0.20	0.18
Model 2	7.0 (0.03)	7.0 (0.03)	7.0 (0.03)	7.0 (0.03)	0.40	0.37

Values reflect least square means (standard error)

^†

P-value for the association of ln(SDF-1) as a continuous variable with LTL

^‡

1 standard deviation of ln(SDF-1): 0.26

Model 1: Adjusted for age and sex

Model 2: Adjusted for age, sex, BMI, total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio, smoking status, diabetes, systolic blood pressure, hypertension treatment
