a

ORs were derived from multivariable regression models and adjusted for all sociodemographic and clinical characteristics included in Table 1. We did not include smoking, alcohol use, obesity, and diabetes for model among participants with high risk of ASCVD because these variables were used to calculate risk of ASCVD.
