Odds Ratio (95% confidence interval). TC: total cholesterol. HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. P: the p value from logistic regression comparing the genotype L versus genotype S (reference) on stroke risk in each CVD characteristic subgroup. S and L genotypes: averaged (GT)n repeats ≦26 and >26, respectively. Model I: adjusted for age, sex and plaque score; Model II: adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, ever-smoking, body mass index ≧27, and plaque score, as well as hyperlipidemia or hypo-HDL-Cholesterolemia depends.
