The Association between Metabolic Syndrome-Related Indicators and Ten-Year Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: An Epidemiologic Assessment

Table 3

Multiple logistic regression analysis of the association between metabolic syndrome-related indicators and predicted 10-year risk for CVD.

	10-year risk for CVD*
Metabolic syndrome-related indicators	Medium-risk OR^# (95% CI)	High-risk OR (95% CI)
WC^a	1.54 (.93–2.55)	2.07 (1.04–4.13)
BP^b	3.12 (1.75–5.55)	24.52 (9.10–66.09)
FPG^c	1.34 (.83–2.15)	1.24 (.66–2.35)
TG^d	1.86 (1.11–3.13)	1.48 (.74–2.95)
HDL-C^e	1.36 (.82–2.25)	4.03 (2.03–7.98)

^aWC: waist circumference.
^bBP: blood pressure.
^cFPG: fasting plasma glucose.
^dTG: triglyceride.
^eHDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. *Using the low-risk ≦10% group as the reference group. ^#Odds ratios were adjusted for sex, age, smoking, alcohol consumption, and betel-nut chewing.
