Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models for the associations between cardiac ectopic fat depots and coronary artery calcium incidence.

Fat Measure	Model	Odds Ratios (95% Confidence Interval)	p-Value
Pericardial Fat	Age + Sex	1.21 (0.96, 1.53)	0.10
	MV	0.94 (0.72, 1.21)	0.62
	MV + Body Mass Index	0.92 (0.70, 1.23)	0.58
	MV + Visceral Adipose Tissue	1.05 (0.76, 1.44)	0.77
	MV + Waist Circumference	1.01 (0.75, 1.35)	0.96
Intrathoracic Fat	Age + Sex	1.17 (0.98, 1.39)	0.08
	MV	0.98 (0.80, 1.19)	0.82
	MV + Body Mass Index	0.97 (0.78, 1.21)	0.79
	MV + Visceral Adipose Tissue	1.15 (0.87, 1.51)	0.33
	MV + Waist Circumference	1.06 (0.84, 1.32)	0.64

Data are shown as odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of incident coronary artery calcium based on each additional 50 cm³ increment in the fat measure.

Multivariable (MV) model is adjusted for systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive treatment, diabetes mellitus, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, lipid-lowering treatment, current smoking, moderate to heavy alcohol use, postmenopausal status (women only), and hormone replacement therapy (women only).
