Multivariable Regression Models of Risk Factors at Visit 4 Associated With Absolute Change in Galectin‐3 Levels From Visit 4 to Visit 5

Variable Coefficient (95% CI) P Value
Log galectin‐3 (per log unit increase) 0.94 (0.38–1.49) 0.001
Age, y 0.06 (0.03–0.09) <0.001
Female −0.55 (−0.87 to −0.22) 0.001
Black 0.44 (0.09–0.80) 0.01
Current smoking 0.75 (0.33–1.17) <0.001
Systolic blood pressure, mm Hg 0.02 (0.002–0.03) 0.03
Pulse pressure, mm Hg 0.02 (0.003–0.04) 0.02
Antihypertensive medication 0.32 (0.03–0.61) 0.03
Body mass index, kg/m2 0.08 (0.05–0.11) <0.001
Diabetes mellitus 0.81 (0.19–1.42) 0.01
Fasting glucose, mg/dL 0.03 (0.02–0.03) <0.001
Log NT‐proBNP (per log unit increase) 0.41 (0.27–0.55) <0.001
Log hs‐TnI (per log unit increase) 0.23 (0.04–0.42) 0.02
Log hs‐TnT (per log unit increase) 0.19 (−0.002 to 0.38) 0.05

hs‐TNI indicates high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin I; hs‐TNT, high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T; and NT‐proBNP, N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide.
