Table summary
This table displays the results of adjusted odds ratios relating adiposity variables to having at least two cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. This information is grouped by at least two CVD risk factors, at least two CVD risk factors (appearing as column headers), calculated using adjusted odds ratios, 95% confidence interval as a unit of measure.
