Odds ratios were adjusted for age, sex, race-left (five categories), education, medications for hypertension and cholesterol (yes/no), systolic blood pressure (mmHg), non-HDL-cholesterol (mg/dL), and smoking (current/non-current). Those adjusting covariates were the ones assessed at Visit 5. Overall p-value for trend was obtained by modelling the category median (for all six categories) as a continuous variable. 95%CI, 95% confidence interval.
