Adjusting for age, sex and region, each SD increment higher ln-IP-10 concentration was associated with death from cancer (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.14, 2.03, p = 0.004), but was not associated with death from dementia (HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.39, 1.34, p = 0.31), infection (HR 1.46, 95% CI 0.81, 2.62, p = 0.21), or overall CVD (HR 1.26, 95% CI 0.97, 1.63, p = 0.08). The gene discussed is CXCL10; the disease is cancer.
