AHR, adjusted hazard ratio; DM, diabetes mellitus.

First year of follow‐up has been excluded in all the above analyses except when otherwise noted.

*DM, type 1 or type 2.

†HR for vascular disease listed as the main diagnosis. All other analyses refer to vascular disease listed as main or secondary diagnosis.

‡Analyses restricted to individuals with coeliac disease diagnosed in adulthood (and reference individuals entering the study in adulthood).
