Coronary Artery Calcium Incidence According to Predicted Lifetime Risk Group Strata
| Low Short‐Term/Low Lifetime Risk | Low Short‐Term/High Lifetime Risk | P Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAC incidence | 18.9% | 29.1% | 0.001 |
| Annualized CAC incidence | 2.7% | 4.2% | 0.001 |
| CAC incidence OR (95% CI) | Reference | 1.76 (1.25 to 2.47) | 0.001 |
| CAC incidence ORadjusted (95% CI)* | Reference | 1.60 (1.12 to 2.27) | 0.010 |
| Follow up CAC score* | 2.4 AU (±9.49) | 7.8 AU (±41.67) | <0.001 |
AU indicates Agatston units; CAC, coronary artery calcium.
Mean (±standard deviation).
