Three or more	0.66	[0.35, 1.25]

Note: based on 1,652 adults aged between 22 and 64 years with migraine headache and alive during the calendar year. Cardiovascular risk factors consisted of the presence of any of the following conditions: diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and smoking.
Asterisks represent significant group differences in triptans use by cardiovascular risk factors based on logistic regression. The regressions controlled for sex, race/ethnicity, age, marital status, education, employment, poverty status, health insurance coverage, prescription insurance coverage, health status, physical activity, and region.
CV: cardiovascular; AOR: adjusted odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; sig: significance.
