Fig. 3From: Correlation of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A gene with carotid plaquesStratified distribution of rs7020782 genotypes by age in subjects with carotid plaque and controls. Adjusted for sex, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, the risk of carotid plaque under C allele dominant model in subjects aged ≤64 years *: odds ratio, 2.33; 95 % CI, 1.47–3.69; P < 0.001, those aged > 64 years** : odds ratio, 2.57; 95 % CI, 1.75–3.76; P < 0.001Back to article page
