Multivariable logistic regression model for participants by smoking status and intensity with CAC score >0. n=2493; Values are given as odds ratio, P value (95% CI). CAC indicates coronary artery calcification; and JHS, Jackson Heart Study.

P‐values are statistically significant; Model 1: adjusted for age and sex; Model 2: Model 1 plus education level, diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, hypertension, total cholesterol, fasting triglycerides, physical activity, and alcohol intake in the past 12 months.
