Japanese Japanse-American US white Total*
Odds ratio (95% CI)§ of CCS ≥ 10 for ln CRP
    Model 1 1.29 (0.90 - 1.85) 0.94 (0.73 - 1.21) 1.17 (0.88 - 1.56) 1.09 (0.92 - 1.29)
    Model 2 1.23 (0.82 - 1.84) 0.88 (0.66 - 1.19) 0.92 (0.65 - 1.29) 0.96 (0.80 - 1.15)
    Model 3 1.10 (0.74 - 1.64) 0.84 (0.63 - 1.11) 0.86 (0.61 - 1.20) 0.90 (0.74 - 1.09)
Odds ratio (95% CI)§ of CCS ≥ 10 for fbrinogen
    Model 1 1.29 (0.89 - 1.89) 1.08 (0.83 - 1.42) 1.27 (0.96 - 1.68) 1.21 (1.02 - 1.43)

§

The odds ratios were calculated for 1SD higher of lnCRP or fibrinogen, using the logistic regression analysis. CI, confidence interval.

Model 1 was adjusted for age. Model 2 adjusted for age, systolic blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-choleseterol, fasting glucose, smokng, and alcohol consumption. Model 3 was adjusted for age and body mass index.

*

All models were adjusted for population in addition to the total participants.
