Cox analysis was performed to measure the risk of death for each given cause. Non-cases were censored at time of death from any other cause or time of last follow-up. Models were adjusted for smoking status, self-reported diabetes at baseline, systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Hazard ratios (HR) are per 1 standard deviation increase in the polygenic risk score. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
