Figure 1. Association of environmental factors with fibrinogen concentration (in g/L), adjusted for age and sex.
A) Forest plot for smoking status. The beta estimate with 95% confidence intervals indicates the change in mean fibrinogen concentration (in g/L) by smoking status for each study and across all studies (“overall”, estimated by meta-analysis). B) Forest plot for alcohol consumption. The beta estimate with 95% confidence intervals indicates the change in mean fibrinogen concentration (in g/L) by alcohol consumption for each study and across all studies (“overall”, estimated by meta-analysis). Alcohol consumption was assessed only in 20 studies. C) Forest plot for BMI. The beta estimate with 95% confidence intervals indicates the change in mean fibrinogen concentration (in g/L) by BMI for each study and across all studies (“overall”, estimated by meta-analysis).
