  1. Coefficients and SE (in brackets) were measured using multivariable linear regression models to assess the association of TFPI (per 10 ng/ml) with aortic measurements as dependent variables.
  2. Model 1: Unadjusted.
  3. Model 2: Adjusted for age, gender, and race.
  4. Model 3: Model2 + BMI, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, hypertension medication use, diabetes mellitus, and smoking status.
