All models are adjusted for sex, age, smoking, and body mass index.

NTL=the number of subjects in the analysis; NDied=the number of died individuals.

DI=deficit index (%); PP=pulse pressure (the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressures; mm Hg); DBP=diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg); PR=pulse rate (beats/min); SCH=serum cholesterol (mg/100 ml); BG=blood glucose (mg/100 ml); HC=hematocrit (%).

#

denotes “univariate” analysis when adjusted models included only one of the explanatory variables (see Table 2). The number of subjects is not shown since these numbers are different for each model due to difference in the missing values (these numbers are, however, larger than those in the case of multivariate model). All other models are “multivariate” with all the explanatory variables included.

§

the analysis is performed for 24 years of follow-up with death occurred within first 10 years excluded

“All ages” group with NTL=5882 includes also 33 subjects aged 85+ years and 1 subject aged <45 years.
