Logistic Regressions Identifying Vulnerability Index as an Independent Predictor of Cardiovascular Events

	Cardiovascular Events
	OR (95% CI)	P Value
VI (fourth quartile)	3.88 (1.72–8.77)	0.001
Age, y, per SD	0.91 (0.60–1.39)	0.67
sex (female)	0.69 (0.29–1.66)	0.41
Diabetes mellitus, yes	1.55 (0.70–3.43)	0.28
Hypertension, yes	1.63 (0.67–3.99)	0.28
Smoking, current or previous	0.83 (0.29–2.34)	0.72
Total cholesterol, per SD	1.20 (0.82–1.76)	0.35
Cerebrovascular symptoms (stroke, transient ischemic attack, or amaurosis fugax)	1.43 (0.64–3.21)	0.38

OR indicates odds ratio; and VI, vulnerability index.
