At arsenic exposure levels exceeding 750 μg/L, difference in OR estimates between class S allele carriers and non-carriers was borderline significant ( p = 0.051).
At arsenic exposure levels exceeding 750 μg/L, difference in OR estimates between class S allele carriers and non-carriers was borderline significant ( p = 0.051).
The difference in OR estimates between class S allele carriers and non-carriers reached borderline significance ( p = 0.051) at an level arsenic exposure exceeding 750 μg/L in the LMN cohort.
On the other hand, having a history of diabetes was a significant risk factor, and having a history of hypertension was found to be associated with a borderline significance level (0.05 ≤ p < 0.10), with an increased risk of carotid atherosclerosis in the patient group of the LMN cohort.
First, a reducing effect from the combination of the HO-1 short (GT)n allele and arsenic exposure, if it exists at all, is only slight and limited to high arsenic exposure; in addition, the statistical testing was of borderline significance.
