Model 1: Adjusted for age and gender.

Model 2: As for model 1, additionally adjusted for BMI, current smoking, hypertension, diabetes, plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Model 3: As for model 2, additionally adjusted for waist circumference.

* The ranges of PAFV per quartile were as follows: Q1: 4.2–10.3cm3. Q2: 10.4–15.2 cm3. Q3: 15.3–22.7 cm3. Q4: 22.8–51.5 cm3, and VATA Q1: 21.8–89.2 cm3. Q2: 89.4–121.4 cm3. Q3: 121.7–156.6 cm3. Q4: 156.8–298.8 cm3.

Abbreviations: CT, computed tomography; CAD-CA, coronary artery atherosclerosis; CAD-msCA, moderate to severe coronary artery atherosclerosis; OR, odd ratio; CI, confidence interval.
