ROC curves based on multivariable stepwise penalized logistic regression models ( stepPLR ) adjusting for gender effect. Models that are also adjusted for age effect outperformed those that did not control for age, across all choices of the parameter λ. The age-adjusted final model for λ = 0.1 showed the best performance in terms of AUC. See Table 1 for detailed results and the text for discussion of these results.
