Figure 2. Odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for high-risk ankle brachial index, peripheral artery disease, or arterial stiffness for each 10-unit increase in AHEI among adults ≥ 45y in HCHS/SOL 2008–2011.

Figure 2: Reported as Odds Ratio (95% CI) with reference category as normal ABI (>0.90 or <1.40mg/L). Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex, background, family history of CHD, center, energy intake, household income, marital status, years of living in the US, health insurance, physical activity, cigarettes packs per year, use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Model 2 was additionally adjusted for diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity. ABI was measured among participants aged ≥45y. n=7,892. Abbreviations: AHEI, alternative healthy eating index; ABI, Ankle-Brachial Index; PAD, peripheral artery disease.
