  1. *P-value < 0.05/2377 = 2.1 × 10-5 statistically significant for analyses in the Cardiovascular Health Study.
  2. P-value < 0.05/11 = 0.005 statistically significant for replication analyses in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities and Jackson Heart Study.
  3. Significant in CHS when follow-up was restricted to ten years.
  4. Analyses in each cohort were conducted with Cox proportional hazards regression adjusted for clinic site, age, sex, race/ethnicity, current smoking status, prevalent diabetes mellitus, treated hypertension, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Two-sided p-values are displayed.
