In conventional analysis, we used Cox proportional hazard model to calculate HR for CHD risk per unit (log nmol/L) of increase in serum SHBG levels.

Model 1: Adjusted for age, assessment center, Townsend Deprivation Index, family history of cardiovascular diseases, smoking status, alcohol intake frequency, and physical activity level; Model 2: Model 1+prevalent diabetes, hypertension, or hyperlipidemia at baseline; Model 3: Model 2+BMI; Model 4: Model 3+TT [in linear MR analysis, predictive odds ratios for CHD risk per unit (log nmol/L) increase in genetically predicted SHBG were calculated by using a 2-stage least squares logistic regression model (24)]; Model 5: adjusted for age, BMI, assessment centers, genotyping arrays, and top 10 genetic principal components; Model 6: Model 5+TT.
