Associations of baseline CAC volume and density with incident CAD in participants with baseline CAC >0, stratified by CAC volume (≥100 vs 1–99)

CAC measure HR for per SD (95% CI) p value
Baseline CAC >0 (n= 144, n events=59)
 Unadjusted model

  Density 0.7 (0.4, 1.2) 0.220
 Adjusted modela
  Volume 1.5 (1.04, 2.2) 0.032
  Density 0.8 (0.5, 1.2) 0.269
 Adjusted modela + Interactionb
  Volume × density 0.061
Subgroup with baseline CAC volume ≥100 (n=57, n events=31)

a

Adjusted for sex, diabetes duration, ever smoking, BMI, HbA1c, cholesterol (HDL and non-HDL), urinary AER, hypertension and the use of statins

b

Additionally adjusted for interaction term CAC volume × density
