Multiple logistic regression analysis showing the independent contribution of borderline-high MCV to high brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity

	Model 1		Model 2		Model 3
	OR (95% CI)	P-value	OR (95% CI)	P-value	OR (95% CI)	P-value
Borderline-high MCV	3.05 (1.53–6.08)	0.001	3.08 (1.19–7.98)	0.020	3.21 (1.22–8.48)	0.018

Model 1: unadjusted; model 2: adjusted for age, sex, BMI, alcohol intake, smoking status, regular exercise, SBP, DBP, FPG, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, WBC count, CRP, γ-glutamyltransferase, and uric acid; model 3: adjusted for age, sex, BMI, alcohol intake, smoking status, regular exercise, SBP, DBP, FPG, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, WBC count, CRP, γ-glutamyltransferase, uric acid, hypertension medication, and diabetes medication.

MCV, mean corpuscular volume; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; WBC, white blood cell; CRP, C-reactive protein.
