Effect	Odds Ratio	95% Confidence Limits	P Value
Ethnicity (Arab vs Jewish)	0.785	0.479–1.284	.33
Age (per yr)	1.009	0.992–1.026	.3
Sex (male vs female)	0.715	0.466–1.097	.124
Hypertension	1.138	0.709–1.826	.59
Diabetes	1.889	1.274–2.801	.002^{^b}
Smoking	0.723	0.460–1.137	.16
Hyperlipidemia	1.352	0.899–2.033	.15
IHD	1.243	0.746–2.071	.4
PVD	2.197	1.210–3.987	.01^{^b}
MI	0.736	0.381–1.423	.36

Note:—IHD indicates ischemic heart disease; AF, paroxysmal or chronic atrial fibrillation; PVD, peripheral vascular disease; MI, myocardial infarction.
