Similar to our results, Bukhari et al [ 23] found that the presence of anti-CCP antibodies at baseline was strongly associated with both prevalent erosions (odds ratio [OR] 2.53]) and developing erosions at 5 years (OR 10.2).
Several logistic regression models were fitted to explore the association between season-specific 25(OH D groups and prevalent cognitive impairment (odds ratio, 95% confidence interval).
In multivariate regression models adjusted for possible confounders, each kJ/kg/day of PAEE was associated with a 2.1% lower risk of prevalent metabolic syndrome (odds ratio 0.98, P = 0.03).
In overall analysis, metabolic syndrome was not associated with prevalent fractures [pooled odds ratio (OR) 0.93, 95% CI 0.84 - 1.03] in cross-sectional studies or incident fractures [pooled relative risk (RR) 0.88, 95% CI 0.37 - 2.12] in prospective cohort studies.
Expressing PAEE as a continuous variable, and assuming a linear relationship with the metabolic syndrome, each kJ/kg/day of PAEE was associated with a 2.1% lower risk of prevalent metabolic syndrome (odds ratio 0.98, P = 0.03), after adjustment for potential confounders as in Table 2, model 3.
An SD (0.10 g/L) higher fetuin-A level was associated with a 70% greater odds of prevalent diabetes for men with prevalent CVD but was not related to prevalent diabetes among men without known CVD (P for interaction = 0.022).
In the Cardiovascular Health Cognition Study, albuminuria was associated with increased odds of prevalent dementia, adjusted for prevalent cardiovascular disease and risk factors, lipid levels, C-reactive protein level, eGFR, and apolipoprotein E-4 genotype (OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.09 2.30, P < 0.02) (4).
Using a cross-sectional design, we examined whether high levels of serum CRP are associated with increased odds of prevalent dementia in the oldest-old.
These patterns remained in fully adjusted models and showed small increases with longer duration in the U.S. Joint effects models showed higher odds of prevalent Type II diabetes and obesity (Asian-specific) for foreign-born Asians, regardless of years in the U.S. and slightly higher risk for low education, when compared to non-Latino Whites with high education.
Elevated FGF23 levels were independently associated with increased odds of prevalent atrial fibrillation (n = 660) after adjustment for cardiovascular and CKD-specific factors (odds ratio of highest vs lowest FGF23 quartile, 2.30; 95% CI, 1.69-3.13; P < .001 for linear trend across quartiles).
