Multivariate age adjusted odds ratios (with 95% CI) for risk factors and prior disease associated with ST elevation among men and women in the Euro heart survey of ACS
| All | Men | Women | |
|---|---|---|---|
| In model I the effect of increasing BMI is assessed without intermediary variables (diabetes and hypertension). In model II these variables are added. If BMI was analysed as a continuous variable in model I, among the 8855 patients with recorded weight and height, risk of ST elevation was significantly reduced with increasing BMI overall (p = 0.0001; p = 0.0505 among men, p = 0.0008 among women). Corresponding p values for model II were p = 0.0018 overall, among men p = 0.27, among women p = 0.001. | |||
