Lack of Insurance and Hazard Rate of Cardiovascular Events and Death*

Lack of isurance and hazard of	Number of outcome events	Unadjusted hazard ratio (95% CI)	Adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI)†
Stroke	444	2.32 (1.80–2.98)	1.65 (1.22–2.22)
Myocardial infarction	968	1.43 (1.17–1.74)	1.22 (0.97–1.54)
Death	1,157	1.77 (1.50–2.09)	1.26 (1.03–1.53)

*Compared to those with insurance
