We presented findings on the primary causes of death and the occurrence of AVEs. Cardiovascular events accounted for more than half of all cases of mortality. Additionally, the most prevalent AVE was stroke.
AVE, atherosclerotic vascular event; PAD, peripheral artery disease; CAD, coronary artery disease; CHF, congestive heart failure.
