Supplementary Table 1. Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios for coronary heart disease according to serum small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, 2007–2015.

Serum sdLDL cholesterol level, mg/dL
Quartile 1 Quartile 2 Quartile 3 Quartile 4 p for trend
≤ 24.4 24.5–32.8 32.9–43.6 ≥ 43.7
Hazard ratio (95% CI)
    Model 1 1.00 (Reference) 3.18 (1.25–8.06) 4.12 (1.65–10.33) 5.32 (2.08–13.59) < 0.001
    Model 1 + serum LDL cholesterol 1.00 (Reference) 2.77 (1.07–7.22) 3.28 (1.22–8.80) 3.84 (1.31–11.24) 0.03
    Model 1 + serum triglycerides 1.00 (Reference) 3.04 (1.19–7.77) 3.86 (1.51–9.85) 4.71 (1.72–12.93) 0.003
    Model 1 + log hs-CRP 1.00 (Reference) 3.23 (1.27–8.21) 4.19 (1.67–10.49) 5.47 (2.14–14.00) < 0.001
    Model 1 + log HOMA-IR 1.00 (Reference) 2.94 (1.15–7.47) 3.88 (1.55–9.73) 4.68 (1.82–12.04) 0.0012

SI conversion factors: To convert mg/dL values to mmol/L, multiply serum sdLDL cholesterol values by 0.02586 and multiply serum triglycerides values by 0.01129.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C reactive protein; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; SD, standard deviation; sdLDL, small dense low-density lipoprotein.

Model 1: Adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, use of antihypertensive agents, hemoglobin A1c, use of glucose-lowering agents, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, use of statins, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, electrocardiogram abnormalities, current smoking, current drinking, and regular exercise
