Definition of abbreviations: n = number of subjects with complete data for specified outcome.

All estimates are adjusted for stratified sampling by risk group.

*

The IQR is defined as the difference between the 25th and 75th percentile values.

(25th percentile, 75th percentile). The weighted percentage is computed as (0.415 × higher risk [%]) + (0.585 × lower risk [%]).

Lower and upper bounds, respectively, of 95% confidence intervals for percent values, accounting for stratified sampling.
