  1. Data are taken from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study 1986–1989 and follow-up. Models were adjusted for age, sex, race, smoking status, education level, body mass index, diabetes status, and lung function status. 95% confidence intervals (CI) that do not include 1.0 are significant at the p = 0.05 level. NA, not available (there were no critical illness hospitalizations in this subgroup).
