Sex, current smoking, diabetes, and hypertension as covariates.
Model 1 plus LDL cholesterol and log-transformed triglycerides as covariates.
Individuals with the highest tertile of ANGPTL3 concentration served as the reference group for this analysis.
MI = myocardial infarction; other abbreviations as in Table 1.
