    Ethnicity and the odds of progressing into the low ankle-brachial index (ABI) group* over 3 years: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.

    *Defined as an ABI ≤ 0.90 (non-Hispanic White Americans are the reference group).

    Model 1 – Adjusted for age and sex.

    Model 2 – Adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and dyslipidemia.

    Model 3 – Adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, dyslipidemia, new hypertension, and new dyslipidemia.

    Model 4 – Adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, dyslipidemia, family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) new hypertension, new dyslipidemia, and homocysteine.
