Figure 2 Adjusted Odds Ratios for the Combined Primary End Point
Adjusted odds ratios of myocardial injury or ischemic heart disease (IHD) admission (n = 3,884) and the secondary end point, death from any cause (n = 4,070), at 1 year after the index low-density lipoprotein cholesterol date are shown. In multivariate-adjusted analysis using the highest high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) quartile (Q4) as the reference quartile, an inverse relationship was shown between HDL-C and admission for IHD, whereas a U-shaped relationship was observed between HDL-C and the risk of overall mortality at 1 year. The p values for myocardial injury or IHD admission: 0.04 HDL-C categoric, 0.007 HDL-C continuous. The p values for total mortality: 0.18 HDL-C categoric, 0.001 for separate linear relationships above and below HDL-C of 43 mg/dl.
