Odds ratios (OR) (95% CI) for MI according to tertiles of GlcCer and PtdEtn
| MI Study | Tertiles | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Lowest | Middle | Highest | |
| GlcCer | |||
| GlcCer levels (μg/mL) | <5.1 | ≥5.1 and <6.4 | ≥6.4 |
| Model I | 6.4 (3.5‐11.9) | 1.5 (0.7‐3.0) | 1 |
| Model II | 5.3 (1.9‐14.7) | 2.0 (0.7‐5.9) | 1 |
| PtdEtn | |||
| PtdEtn levels (μg/mL) | <47.6 | ≥47.6 and <61.6 | ≥61.6 |
| Model I | 2.7 (1.4‐5.3) | 1.6 (0.8‐3.3) | 1 |
| Model II | 1.6 (0.4‐6.1) | 2.9 (0.7‐12.3) | 1 |
The tertile‐based odds ratios (OR) (95% CI) for MI based on the plasma GlcCer are shown. Tertile cut points were defined in controls. The control subjects with the highest tertile of GlcCer served as the reference group.
Model I: Unadjusted OR.
Model II GlcCer: ORs were adjusted by age, gender, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, current smoking, family history for MI, alcohol consumption.
Model II PtdEtn: ORs were adjusted by age, gender, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, current smoking, family history for MI, alcohol consumption, hormone therapy use.
MI, myocardial infarction.
