Table 3.

Risk of incident CHD for lipoprotein particle markers in 4,679 MESA participants are adjusted for non-lipid variables* + specified lipid measure(s). Results for each marker are presented as hazard ratios for individuals in 4th quartiles, using respective 1st quartiles as referents; 95% confidence intervals and P values are specified.

Adjusted for non-lipid risk factors including sex, hypertension meds, systolic blood pressure, age (category), diabetes, smoking, and race/ethnicity.

CHD = coronary heart disease; TC = total cholesterol; LDL-C = low density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C = high density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG = triglycerides; ApoB = apolipoproteins B-100; ApoA-I = apolipoprotein A-I; LDL-P = LDL particle; HDL-P = HDL particle; MESA = Multi-ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
