Baseline characteristics of those with and without incident coronary heart disease during follow up among 89,242 participants (exclusions as in Figure S1). Continuous variables are presented as mean (standard deviation) and categorical variables are presented as column percentages. *Area-level measure of material deprivation, higher scores represent higher levels of deprivation. †Measured directly. LDL = low-density lipoproteins; HDL = high-density lipoproteins.
