Specifically, joint IQR increases in log-CRP and log-glycohemoglobin were associated with increased odds of CHF (OR = 2.03; 95% CI: 1.70, 2.42) and stroke (OR = 1.58; 95% CI: 1.34-1.87), and a joint increase in log-triglycerides and log-glycohemoglobin was associated with increased odds of angina (OR = 1.36; 95% CI: 1.13, 1.65). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is congestive heart failure.
