| Odds ratio and 95% CI for increase in CAC category for a 5-ng/mL increase in plasma resistin levels. CAC categories used in ordinal regression were CAC 0, CAC 1–10, CAC 11–100, CAC >100. |
| *Risk factors (RF*) included total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, cigarette smoking, exercise, alcohol, race, family history of premature coronary artery disease, and medication use (aspirin, statin, ß-blocker, and hormone replacement therapy in women). In models that contained metabolic syndrome, non–metabolic syndrome risk factors (RF) were smoking, exercise, alcohol intake, race, LDL cholesterol, and medication use. There was no statistically significant interaction between sex and plasma resistin levels in the association with CAC. |
