Association Between Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Levels and All-Cause Mortality After Adjustment for Various Confounders

MPO Tertiles	Mortality During 4-Years’ Follow-up	Unadjusted	Model 1^*	Model 2^†	Model 3^‡	Model 4^§
MPO Tertiles	Number (%)	HR (95% CI)
All participants (n = 363)
Lower	39 (26)	—	—	—	—
Medium	51 (34)	1.39 (0.92–2.12)	1.32 (0.87–2.02)	1.26 (0.79–2.01)	1.19 (0.74–1.90)	0.98 (0.48–1.95)

Notes: ADL = activity of daily living; BMI = body mass index; CI = confidence interval; CPS = Cognitive Performance Scale; HR = hazard ratio.

In Model 1, we adjusted for age and gender.

^†

In Model 2, we adjusted for age, gender, living alone, functional impairment (ADL scale score), cognitive impairment (CPS scale score), depression, number of diseases, number of drugs, BMI, hearing impairment, and albumin.

^‡

In Model 3, we adjusted for age, gender, living alone, functional impairment (ADL scale score), cognitive impairment (CPS scale score), depression, number of diseases, number of drugs, BMI, hearing impairment, albumin, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides. In all models, age was treated as a continuous variable.

^§

In Model 4, we adjusted for age, gender, living alone, functional impairment (ADL scale score), cognitive impairment (CPS scale score), depression, BMI, hearing impairment, albumin, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, hypertension, congestive heart failure, diabetes, cerebrovascular diseases.
