Multinomial logistic regression to assess the relation between PWV and patients, first-degree relatives with and without high CAC score and controls
| Group | Controls | First-degree relatives | Patients | |
| Normal CAC | Abnormal CAC | |||
| PWV | ||||
| Model 1 | 1.00 | 1.23 (0.91–1.65) | 1.49 (1.09–2.04)* | 1.72 (1.32–2.24)* † |
| Model 2 | 1.00 | 1.31 (0.96–1.79) | 1.53 (1.08–2.17)* | 1.91 (1.43–2.57)* † |
| Model 3 | 1.00 | 1.46 (0.99–2.14) | 1.61 (1.02–2.54)* | 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.
↵* p<0.05 compared with controls.
↵† p<0.05 compared with first-degree relatives with normal CAC. Controls are used as reference.
CAC, coronary artery calcification; PWV, pulse-wave velocity.
