a
Additionally adjusted for body mass index, body fat percentage, dyslipidemia, any smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and family history of coronary heart disease in a single model.
b
Additionally adjusted for presence of calcification in the coronary arteries, thoracic aorta, abdominal aorta, iliac arteries, and celiac trunk in a single model.
c
% change in SMAC score + 1 calculated using the following equation: 100*(eB-coefficient −1).
