Multinomial logistic regression to assess the relation between PWV and patients, first-degree relatives and controls
| Group | Controls | First-degree relatives | Patients with CAD |
| PWV | |||
| Model 1 | 1.00 | 1.32 (1.02–1.72)* | 1.72 (1.32–2.24)* † |
| Model 2 | 1.00 | 1.38 (1.04–1.83)* | 1.91 (1.43–2.57)* † |
| Model 3 | 1.00 | 1.51 (1.05–2.17)* | 2.18 (1.49–3.19)* † |
Model 1, crude model; model 2, adjusted for age and sex; model 3, additionally adjusted for hypercholesterolaemia, smoking and systolic blood pressure.
Controls are used as reference.
↵* p<0.05 compared with controls.
↵† p<0.05 compared with first-degree relatives.
CAD, coronary artery disease; PWV, pulse-wave velocity.
