Adjusted for sex, age, and medians of cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, lipoprotein(a), fibrinogen, triglycerides, body mass index as well as smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and factor V Leiden genotype. Hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was calculated for heterozygotes or homozygotes versus noncarriers using Cox regression. P values are for trend tests, from noncarriers to heterozygotes to homozygotes.
