When adjusting for age, history of diabetes, systolic blood pressure, BMI, total cholesterol, current smoking, and hs-CRP levels (DAG-based confounding factors), protein-adjusted FT and homocysteine levels remained significantly associated with the risk of CV events in men (Model 4, hazard ratio (HR) 0.63 [95% CI: 0.40–0.99], p = 0.045 and HR 1.58 [1.20–2.08], p = 0.001, respectively), whereas none of the biomarkers were significantly associated with the risk of CV events in women after full adjustment for confounding factors (Figure 3). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
