| Beta-Coefficient (95% CI) | p-value | Beta-Coefficient (95% CI) | p-value | |

Beta coefficient and 95% confidence interval calculated from a multivariable linear regression analysis. Model 1 adjusted for age, sex, race, and socioeconomic status. Model 2 adjusted for model 1 plus physical activity, smoking, BMI, HTN, insulin resistance, CRP and HDL. CIIS, cardiac injury score; CRP, C-reactive protein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; BMI, body mass index. Hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥85 or taking antihypertensive medications. Insulin resistance defined as fasting blood sugar ≥100 mg/dl, or self-reported history of diabetes or taking medications.
