indicates significance at the 0.05 level.
All analyses are in comparison to participants with no family history of CHD, which was the reference group. Model 1 adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, MESA site, and follow-up duration. Model 2 adjusted age, gender, race/ethnicity, MESA site, follow-up duration, education, BMI, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, anti-hypertensive medications, cigarette smoking, LDL-C, and HDL-C. Model 3 adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, MESA site, follow-up duration, education, BMI, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, anti-hypertensive medications, cigarette smoking, LDL-C, HDL-C, and the logarithm of baseline CAC score.
