1. OR (95% CI) for CHD associated with inflammatory markers before and after adjustment for established risk factors.
OR (95% CI) for CHD associated with inflammatory markers before and after adjustment for established risk factors. The ORs are the associations of inflammatory markers with CHD in the top relative to the bottom third in controls. The ORs are presented as squares, and the horizontal lines represent the 95% CIs. ORs adjusted for age, sex and country are represented by black squares. The ORs that were additionally adjusted for smoking status, history of hypertension, diabetes status and plasma lipid levels (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides) and body mass index are represented by white squares. BMI, body mass index; CHD, coronary heart disease; CRP, C reactive protein; IFN-γ, interferon-gamma; IL, interleukin; IL-6R, IL-6 receptor; TNF-α, tumour necrosis factor-alpha.
