Multiple Cox analysis for the major adverse cardiovascular events.
| Variable | Univariate analysis HR (95% CI) | P–value | Multivariate analysis HR (95% CI) | P–value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Male | 0.958 (0.240–1.830) | 0.951 | ||
| Age | 0.991 (0.919–1.068) | 0.807 | ||
| CHD family history | 2.600 (0.540–12.515) | 0.233 | ||
| Smoker | 0.590 (0.159–2.199) | 0.432 | ||
| Hypertension | 1.806 (0.452–7.222) | 0.403 | ||
| Diabetes | 1.102 (0.276–4.405) | 0.891 | ||
| Hyperlipidemia | 6.629 (1.377–31.913) | 0.018 | 9.598 (1.971–46.734) | 0.005 |
| Total cholesterol | 1.096 (0.623–1.925) | 0.751 | ||
| LTL (<12.23 kb) | 6.720 (1.396–32.357) | 0.018 | 9.716 (1.995–47.319) | 0.005 |
Hyperlipidemia and LTL were entered into the multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. In the multivariable adjusted models, all dependent variables were adjusted for each other.
CHD, coronary heart disease; LTL, leukocyte telomere length.
