Pentraxin-3 (PTX3)
Lower values carry lower risk. Not measured in our NHANES panel; the curve is synthesised from the published association.
Hazard ratio relative to the curve's reference value, as synthesised from the published association.
Published hazard ratio1.08per SD (95% CI 1.02–1.15) · Cardiovascular Health Study, n=1,583 community-dwelling older adults (age >=65) free of prevalent CVD at baseline; 772 all-cause deaths
