Multivariable logistic regression model of clinical and serum factors associated with atherosclerosis occurrence
| Factor | Comparison | Units | Odds Ratio | 95% CI | P-Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age | 5 years | 1.04 | (1.01,1.08) | 0.0251 | |
| Gender | Male vs. Female | 3.13 | (1.58,6.23) | 0.0011 | |
| Smoker1 | Ever vs. Never | 1.98 | (0.98,3.99) | 0.0560 | |
| Hypertension1 | Yes vs. No | 2.05 | (0.90,4.70) | 0.0888 | |
| LDLGroup | High vs. Normal | 9.56 | (3.17, 28.79) | <0.0001 | |

Although the p-values for the association of smoking status and hypertension were greater than 0.05, the variables were retained in the model because each is an established risk factor for atherosclerosis
