P-value for current vs. former/never; Log 10 UTxB2 used for p-values.

MI = Myocardial infarction; CABG = Coronary artery bypass graft, PCI = Percutaneous coronary intervention; PAD = Peripheral artery disease; CEA = Carotid endarterectomy; CHF = Congestive heart failure; CAD = Coronary artery disease; BMI = Body mass index; SBP = Systolic blood pressure; DBP = Diastolic blood pressure; AAA = Arachidonic acid aggregometry.

Bold text notes those variables which have met statistical significance at the 0.05 levels.
