P-value is for single vessel vs multi-vessel involvement of CAC. Refer to table 1 for sample size of each category.

Predicted probabilities adjusted for: Age categories, Race categories, Gender, Time-to-CAC>0 detection, Hypertension, Household income, Smoking status, use of any lipid lowering medications, Diabetes, LDL >160 and obesity (BMI>30).

Abbreviations: LDL-C= low density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C= high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TC= total cholesterol, BMI= body mass index.
