Table 4. Interactions between ideal cardiovascular health indicators and covariates*.
Variable (p-value for interaction) | Stratum | Odds ratio for disability† | 95% CI | p-value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Predictor: Ideal CVH score: | ||||
Cardiac disease (p = 0.007) | Absent | 0.87 | 0.79–0.95 | 0.003 |
Present | 1.19 | 0.93–1.52 | 0.16 | |
Stroke (p = 0.12) | Absent | 0.89 | 0.82–0.97 | 0.01 |
Present | 2.12 | 0.93–4.85 | 0.07 | |
Predictor: number of ideal CVH indicators: | ||||
Cardiac disease (p = 0.01) | Absent | 0.79 | 0.68–0.92 | 0.003 |
Present | 1.73 | 1.05–2.85 | 0.03 | |
Stroke (p = 0.11) | Absent | 0.84 | 0.72–0.97 | 0.02 |
Present | 1.54 | 0.63–3.78 | 0.3 |
†CVH = cardiovascular health
*Models are adjusted for: age, marital status, arthritis, asthma, stroke, visual impairment, socioeconomic status, and cardiac disease–minus the stratifying variable
