Estimations of the odds ratio of developing acute coronary syndromes, among non-smokers
who are exposed to passive smoking and who had one-to-five additional cardiovascular
risk factors (hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, sedentary life
and family history of premature coronary heart disease); the (exponential) line illustrates
the trend on the odds ratios by level of risk factors (p-value for trend < 0.001)
