Values are the odds ratios (P values). Model 1 represents logistic regression models of either per unit anger or CES-D ≥16 or caregiver stress with CAC >100, adjusted for age, sex, smoking, body mass index, past/current prednisone use, and rheumatoid arthritis duration. Anger models were not adjusted for body mass index. Model 2 represents Model 1 with the addition of job stress as a covariate. Model 3 represents Model 1 with the addition of anxiety as a covariate. Model 4 represents Model 1 with the addition of both job stress and anxiety as covariates. CAC = coronary artery calcium; CES-D = Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale.
