Regression coefficients and 95% confidence intervals are shown, p-values where significant or approaching significance. Covariate adjustments were made for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, hypertension and lipid lowering medication use, total cholesterol, HDL-C, diabetes, and smoking status. Race-interactions were tested among racial/ethnic groups
Modeled as an ordinal variable with plaque score values from 0 to 12
Significantly different than Black participants (p for interaction<0.10)
Significantly different than Caucasian participants (p for interaction<0.10)
Definitions: Lp(a)=lipoprotein(a); diabetes=treated and untreated cases; HDL-C=high density lipoprotein-cholesterol; smoking status=current, former, never
