Association of MetS score with incident heart disease and stroke.
| Outcome/exposure | N | Events | HR | 95% CI | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heart disease: per 1-point MetS | 7889 | 489 | 1.119 | 1.025–1.221 | 0.012 |
| Heart disease: Q2 vs Q1 | 7889 | 489 | 1.042 | 0.728–1.492 | 0.822 |
| Heart disease: Q3 vs Q1 | 7889 | 489 | 1.296 | 0.903–1.861 | 0.160 |
| Heart disease: Q4 vs Q1 | 7889 | 489 | 1.444 | 1.001–2.084 | 0.050 |
| Stroke: per 1-point MetS | 7889 | 378 | 1.333 | 1.209–1.470 | <0.001 |
| Stroke: Q2 vs Q1 | 7889 | 378 | 2.103 | 1.308–3.380 | 0.002 |
| Stroke: Q3 vs Q1 | 7889 | 378 | 2.420 | 1.493–3.924 | <0.001 |
| Stroke: Q4 vs Q1 | 7889 | 378 | 3.367 | 2.075–5.463 | <0.001 |
HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval. Q1 is the reference quartile. P for heterogeneity between heart disease and stroke associations = 0.009.
