(A, B) Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to assess effect of serum sodium on 10 Years Risk of CHD (N = 12779). (A) Distribution histograms for variables used in the analysis. (B) Overview of the results. The results demonstrate that serum Na+, as well as glucose, significantly contributes to predicting the Risk of CHD. See text and Table 2 for details of the analysis. (C) 3D Mesh Plots, visualizing Ln(10 Years Risk of CHD), as functions of serum sodium concentration and age. At all ages, 10 Years Risk of CHD is increased in participants with higher levels of serum sodium.
