Association of serum EPA, DHA, AA and their ratios with CAD in young patients by multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Risk factors	Adjusted OR	95% CI	P-value
AA (per tertile increment)	1.593	1.149–2.209	0.005
EPA (per tertile increment)	0.675	0.486–0.937	0.019
DHA (per tertile increment)	0.873	0.636–1.198	0.40
EPA/AA (per tertile increment)	0.356	0.247–0.513	<0.0001
DHA/AA (per tertile increment)	0.465	0.332–0.653	<0.0001

Data were adjusted by age, sex, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C. AA, arachidonic acid; CAD, coronary artery disease; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; DHA/AA, ratio of DHA and AA; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; EPA/AA, ratio of EPA and AA; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride.
