Notes: *Trend was tested using an ordinal variable for plasma phylloquinone category and ucMGP tertile.
†Adjusted for age, race, site, body mass index, education, triglycerides, IL-6, eGFR, prevalent cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cognitive function (3MS score).
‡Adjusted for covariates in model 2 plus healthy eating index, smoking status.
§Model also included quadratic term (ucMGP tertile × ucMGP tertile), all quadratic term p ≤ .045.
