Using Chinese Body Constitution Concepts and Measurable Variables for Assessing Risk of Coronary Artery Disease

Table 5

Multivariate analysis of predicting factors (body constitution scores included) for CAD.

Variable	B	Wald	Prediction rate: 89.0% odds ratio	95% CI	value
Age	0.05	6.36	1.05	1.01–1.09	0.01
Gender	0.61	2.50	1.84	0.86–3.91	NS
BMI	0.08	4.05	1.09	1.00–1.18	0.04
Hypertension	1.46	23.68	4.29	2.39–7.70	<0.01
Diabetes	0.24	0.51	1.27	0.66–2.42	NS
Hyperlipidemia	0.58	3.38	1.78	0.96–3.29	NS
Yang-Xu score	0.08	5.97	1.08	1.02–1.15	0.02
Stasis score	0.15	14.22	1.16	1.08–1.26	<0.01

Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed by “backward” method. Yang-Xu score and Stasis score: variables measured by Body Constitution Questionnaire (BCQ). being statistically significant. NS: not significant. CI: confidence interval.
