Model	OR	95% CI	p value
Unadjusted	1.29	1.06, 1.56	0.010
Model 1a	1.29	1.05, 1.57	0.013
Model 2b	1.29	1.02, 1.63	0.036

^aModel 1: adjusted for age and sex.

^bModel 2: age, sex, race, education level, income, family history, marital status.

^cModel 3: age, sex, race, education level, income, family history of CHD, marital status, smoking, physical activity, stress level, BMI. Multicollinearity was checked using variance inflation factor (VIF) for each independent variable in the model (VIF < 5: no correlation found). Binary logistic regression was used to test the association of DP1 with CHD *Significant level at p value < 0.05.

CI Confidence interval, OR Odd ratio.
