Multivariable-adjusted* hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for ischemic vascular events according to ACE D/I polymorphism (n=25,000) assuming an additive mode
HR | 95% CI | p-value | |
---|---|---|---|
No cardiovascular event (n=24,375) † | 1.00 | Referent | ---- |
Major Cardiovascular Event (n=625) | 0.98 | 0.88-1.09 | 0.70 |
Ischemic Stroke (n=275) | 1.03 | 0.88-1.21 | 0.70 |
Myocardial Infarction (n=268) | 0.87 | 0.74-1.02 | 0.09 |
Controlling for: age, body mass index, diabetes, physical activity, postmenopausal hormone use, oral contraceptive use, history of hypertension, alcohol consumption, smoking categories, and family history of myocardial infarction.
The referent group for each of the analyses remained the same and consisted of women without any cardiovascular event during follow-up.
