HR (95% CI), Black vs Non‐Black Participants | Percent Effect Explained* | |
---|---|---|
Model 1: Adjusted for demographic variables (age and sex) | 2.2 (1.3–3.6) | … |
Model 2: SES first: Adjusted for demographic variables+socioeconomic factors (education, income & employment) | 1.3 (0.8–2.4) | 82% |
Model 3: Clinical factors first: Adjusted for demographic variables+clinical risk factors (smoking history, BMI, history of hypertension, history of diabetes mellitus, history of heart failure, history of dyslipidemia, left ventricular ejection fraction and type of MI) | 1.6 (0.9–2.7) | 55%* |
Model 4: Both SES and clinical factors: Adjusted for demographic variables and both socioeconomic and clinical factors (all variables in Models 2 and 3) | 1.1 (0.6–1.9) | 92% |
The percent effect explained was derived by calculating percent change in the hazard ratio. BMI indicates body mass index; HR, hazard ratio; and MI, myocardial infarction.
