Hazard Ratios and 95% Confidence Intervals for the Best Predictive Model for ASVD Mortality Including Multivariable‐Adjusted Variables and Intakes of Cruciferous, Allium, and Total Vegetablesa
All Participants (N=1226) | P Value | |
---|---|---|
Age, y | 1.17 (1.11–1.23) | <0.001 |
BMI, kg/m2 | 1.04 (1.01–1.07) | 0.016 |
Antihypertensive medication (yes/no) | 1.64 (1.24–2.16) | <0.001 |
Cruciferous vegetable intake, per 10 g/d | 0.88 (0.82–0.94) | <0.001 |
Allium vegetable intake, per 5 g/d | 0.86 (0.76–0.97) | 0.014 |
ASVD indicates atherosclerotic vascular disease.
Results are presented as hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) using forward stepwise Cox proportional hazards modeling. Cruciferous vegetables included cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and broccoli. Allium vegetables included onion, leek, and garlic. Forward stepwise Cox proportional hazards model included age, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, alcohol intake, smoking history, socioeconomic status, calcium supplementation group, antihypertensive medication, statin medication, low‐dose aspirin, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration estimated glomerular filtration rate, and energy intake, and intakes of cruciferous, allium, and total vegetables.
