Figure 3.

Hazard ratios for incident CVD events are shown on the y‐axis (log scale) for categories of GlycA and high‐sensitivity CRP (hsCRP). The hazard ratios are adjusted for age, ethnicity, smoking, systolic blood pressure, hypertensive medications, cholesterol treatment, postmenopausal status, use of hormone replacement therapy, body mass index, history of diabetes, trial treatment assignments, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol and log triglycerides. Categories of GlycA are based on tertile cut points (<341, 341 to 399, and >399 μmol/L). Categories of hsCRP are based on clinical cut points (<1, 1 to 3, and >3 mg/L), as recommended by clinical guidelines. CRP indicates C‐reactive protein; CVD, cardiovascular disease.
