Figure 2. Absolute Risk Differences Over 10-Year Windows for Adverse Cardiovascular Events by Age.

Ten-year absolute risk differences between carriers and noncarriers with 95% CIs are estimated at each age between 53 and 80 years for heart failure hospitalization (HFH), death, and atrial fibrillation (AF). For example, a 75-year-old carrier would have an approximately 20% higher 10-year absolute risk of being hospitalized for HF or dying compared with a noncarrier.
