Table 4 Logistic model that regresses CHD status on epigenetic age acceleration and participant characteristics in the WHI. Coefficients, Wald Z statistics, and corresponding p values resulting from regressing CHD status on measures of epigenetic age acceleration and various participant characteristics. The results for the measure of IEAA and EEAA can be found in columns 2 and 3, respectively

From: An epigenetic clock analysis of race/ethnicity, sex, and coronary heart disease
