Table 4 Associations of cystatin C and biomarker levels at the baseline visit of the MESA study using adjusted linear regression, stratified by race/ethnicity

	White β coefficient (95% CI)	African-American β coefficient (95% CI)	Chinese β coefficient (95% CI)	Hispanic β coefficient (95% CI)	p-value for interaction
CRP (log mg/L)	0.61 (0.37, 0.84)	0.34 (0.14, 0.53)	-0.12 (-0.52, 0.28)	0.13 (-0.06, 0.31)	<0.001
IL-6 (log pg/mL)	0.62 (0.49, 0.75)	0.36 (0.25, 0.47)	0.26 (0.01, 0.51)	0.26 (0.15, 0.36)	<0.001
ICAM-1 (ng/mL)	100.4 (78.8, 122.0)	66.2 (18.7, 113.7)	30.8 (-9.9, 71.6)	48.6 (11.0, 86.3)	0.015
Factor VIII (%)	52.0 (38.3, 65.9)	46.8 (23.5, 70.0)	22.4 (9.0, 35.8)	32.5 (21.3, 43.8)	0.003

All biomarker models adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, smoking status, BMI, diabetes, hypertension, LDL, HDL, and use of statins.
Beta coefficients are given per standard deviation of cystatin C
