Multivariable Logistic Regression for Odds of Healthy Vascular Aging Versus No Healthy Vascular Aging.

Characteristic OR for HVA (95% CI) P value
Age, y 0.20 (0.17–0.24) <0.001
Female sex 2.10 (1.68–2.64) <0.001
BMI, kg/m2 0.50 (0.44–0.57) <0.001
Diabetes mellitus 0.12 (0.04–0.39) <0.001
Lipid-lowering therapy 0.68 (0.50–0.93) 0.01
Total cholesterol, mmol/l 0.90 (0.80–1.005) 0.06

566 individuals had healthy vascular aging whereas 2630 did not. Odds ratios for BMI, total cholesterol, and age are reported per 1-SD increase for comparability. Odds ratios are adjusted for cohort. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol and smoking did not meet the threshold P value of 0.10 and were not retained in in the backward selection process. HVA, healthy vascular aging; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index.
