Nonadjusted and Adjusted Comparisons of Blood Bacterial 16S rDNA Concentration According to the Onset of Acute MI

	Controls (N=102)	Cases (N=99)	P Value*	Adjusted P Value†	Adjusted P Value‡
16S copies/mL of blood±SD	14.7e+6±6.2e+6	20.1e+6±7.8e+6	<0.0001	0.001	0.010

Results of multiple linear regression models (beta coefficients standard errors and P values) are displayed in Table S2. HDL indicates high‐density lipoprotein; MI, myocardial infarction.

^*Nonadjusted (non‐parametric Mann–Whitney tests).

^†Adjustment for age, sex, smoking status, body mass index, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus (P value obtained with linear regression).

^‡Additional adjustment for HDL cholesterol and fasting blood glucose, both significantly different between cases and controls.
