P value: Pearson’s chi square test for continuous variables; Regression-based F test for categorical variables.

HDL, high-density lipoproteins; BMI, body mass index; CHD, coronary heart disease; TIA, transient ischemic attack; LCA, latent class analysis; CVD, cardiovascular disease. This is a 0/1 indicator variable that defines a composite CVD definition based on the Framingham Study criterion (http://www.framinghamheartstudy.org/risk/gencardio.html).
