  1. The number of participants with/without plaque formation was 90/191
  2. OR denotes odds ratio. For continuous variables, the OR indicates the risk elevation per every 10-unit increment. CI denotes confidence interval
  3. aFraction of human mercaptalbumin
  4. bCalculated as (2 × diastolic pressure + systolic pressure)/3
  5. c“Never” was used as the reference
  6. d“Almost none” was used as the reference
