| Odds ratio estimate (95% confidence interval) p-value | LDL | Blood pressure | A1c |
|---|---|---|---|
| Test for interaction p-value | 0.0486 | <0.0001 | 0.0540 |
| Case vs control at age 18–49 | 0.56 (0.34, 0.92) | 0.78 (0.59, 1.03) | Not applicable since test for interaction was not significant |
| Case vs control at age 50–59 | 0.83 (0.69, 0.99) | 0.94 (0.84, 1.05) | |
| Case vs control at age 60–69 | 0.86 (0.76, 0.96) | 1.03 (0.96, 1.11) | |
| Case vs control at age 70–79 | 0.93 (0.79, 1.10) | 1.24 (1.12, 1.38) | |
| Case vs control at age >80 | 0.95 (0.74, 1.21) | 1.27 (1.11, 1.46) |
