Subgroup analyses were performed using the data of model 4 in Table 3. Adjusted for age, ever smoking, alcohol drinking, income (quartile 1; lowest quartile), regular exercise, body mass index, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2, and HRT. The hazard ratios and 95% CIs were obtained by using multivariable Cox proportional hazard models. HRT indicates hormone replacement therapy; and MI, myocardial infarction.
