Significance of interactions between age, gender, and the metabolic syndrome for subsequent CVD risk in adjusted Cox regression models.

PCHD indicates coronary heart disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease; MetS ATP, the metabolic syndrome defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program - Adult Treatment Panel III; and MetS IDF, the metabolic syndrome defined by the International Diabetes Federation.Cox model adjusted for smoking (yes/no), cholesterol (continuous), and fasting (full/semi/no fasting).Significance of interactions between age, gender, and the metabolic syndrome for subsequent CVD risk in adjusted Cox regression models.PCHD指代冠心病（coronary heart disease）；CVD即心血管疾病（cardiovascular disease）；MetS ATP指美国国家胆固醇教育计划成人治疗组第三次指南（National Cholesterol Education Program - Adult Treatment Panel III）所定义的代谢综合征；MetS IDF指国际糖尿病联合会（International Diabetes Federation）所定义的代谢综合征。本研究采用的Cox模型已针对吸烟状态（是/否）、胆固醇水平（连续型变量）及空腹情况（完全空腹、半空腹、未空腹）进行校正。本研究同时分析了经上述校正的Cox回归模型中，年龄、性别与代谢综合征之间的交互作用对后续心血管疾病发病风险的影响显著性。
