  1. The model in subjects aged < 65 years included plasma A-FABP, smoking, body mass index, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, renal dysfunction, hsCRP, and the use of ACEI/ARBs, CCBs, and statins. The model in subjects aged>65 years included plasma A-FABP, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, renal dysfunction, and hsCRP, the use of ACEI/ARBs, CCBs, β-blockers and statins. Only statistical significant factors are presented in Table 3.
