Table includes variables meeting model entry criterion (alpha ≤ 0.05) using stepwise selection methods. Medications including aspirin, statin, and exenatide were included as candidate variables but did not meet model entry criteria (alpha ≤ 0.05). CAD: coronary artery disease; CBVD: cerebrovascular disease; HbA1c: glycated haemoglobin; PAD: peripheral artery disease.
When age ≤65 years.
