Analyses adjusted for sex and the first 10 principal components. Results presented as the increased odds in atherogenic cardiovascular disease per standard deviation increase in genetically determined body mass index, blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, or triglycerides with corresponding 95% confidence interval

Abbreviations: CAD, coronary artery disease; CI, confidence interval; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; OR, odds ratio
