Table 7.

Comparison of AUC Curves for Risk Factors Alone vs Risk Factors Plus CAC to Predict CVD Mortality, by Race/Ethnicity Group

Race/Ethnicity Group	AUC for Risk Factors Alone	AUC for Risk Factors Plus CAC	P Valuea
Whites	0.814	0.819	<0.001
Asians	0.790	0.819	0.04
Blacks	0.754	0.790	0.04
Hispanics	0.745	0.770	0.05

AUC indicates areas under receiver‐operating‐characteristic; CAC, coronary artery calcium; CHD, coronary heart disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease.

^a P values test the comparison between risk factor AUCs with and without accounting for CAC score. Risk factors include age, sex, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, cigarette smoking, and family history of CHD.
