Risk of CVD incidence according to quintiles of circulating dairy fatty acids in 2907 older US adults. Values are HRs (95% CIs) estimated by using multivariable Cox proportional hazards model including age (years), sex, race (white or nonwhite), education (less than high school, high school, some college degree or more), enrollment site (4 sites), time-varying smoking status (never, current, or former), alcohol (servings per week), leisure-time physical activity (kilocalories per week), BMI (kg/m²), drug-treated hypertension (yes or no), self-reported general health (excellent, very good, good, or fair/poor), circulating total trans-fatty acids (%), and self-reported consumption of dairy foods, dietary fiber, fruit, vegetables, and red meat. CHD, coronary heart disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease; Q, quintile.
