Cross‐Sectional Associations of Gal‐3 With Binary Cardiometabolic Traits
| Cardiometabolic Trait | Age and Sex Adjusted | Multivariable Adjusted | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OR (95% CI) | P Value | OR (95% CI) | P Value | |
| Metabolic syndrome | 1.29 (1.19 to 1.40) | <0.0001 | 0.91 (0.80 to 1.02) | 0.11 |
| Obesity | 1.30 (1.19 to 1.42) | <0.0001 | 1.16 (1.06 to 1.28) | 0.002 |
| Diabetes | 1.22 (1.06 to 1.40) | 0.004 | 1.01 (0.87 to 1.18) | 0.87 |
| Insulin resistance | 1.25 (1.14 to 1.37) | <0.0001 | 1.02 (0.91 to 1.13) | 0.77 |
| Hypertension | 1.29 (1.19 to 1.41) | <0.0001 | 1.18 (1.07 to 1.29) | 0.0006 |
OR represent the change associated with a 1‐SD higher log‐transformed Gal‐3. Multivariable model adjusts for age, sex, systolic blood pressure (except for hypertension), antihypertensive treatment status (except for hypertension), body mass index (except for obesity), diabetes status (except for diabetes), current smoking, physical activity, and log‐transformed triglycerides. Gal‐3 indicates galectin‐3; OR, odds ratio.
