Relation of selected LV indices with total CV events by age group.^*

	Age<65		Age≥65
	HR (95% CI)	P value	HR (95% CI)	P value
LV mass (1 SD = 39.5 g)	1.45 (1.11, 1.90)	0.007	1.48 (1.22, 1.81)	<0.001

LVEDV (1 SD = 31.5 mL)	0.89 (0.66, 1.21)	0.470	1.23 (1.00, 1.50)	0.050

LV mass (1 SD = 39.5 g)	1.86 (1.33, 2.62)	<0.001	1.50 (1.17, 1.92)	0.001
LVEDV (1 SD = 31.5 mL)	0.65 (0.46, 0.92)	0.015	0.98 (0.77, 1.26)	0.900

M/V ratio (1 SD = 0.25 g/mL)	1.51 (1.23, 1.85)	<0.001	1.12 (0.96, 1.32)	0.160

M/V ratio quintiles
1^st quintile	referent	––	referent	––
2^nd quintile	1.67 (0.56, 4.93)	0.350	1.08 (0.44, 2.61)	0.870
3^rd quintile	0.75 (0.21, 2.63)	0.650	1.48 (0.65, 3.38)	0.350
4^th quintile	2.68 (0.96, 7.49)	0.060	1.79 (0.81, 3.92)	0.150
5^th quintile	3.69 (1.34, 10.10)	0.011	1.68 (0.77, 3.68)	0.190

Models are adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, height, weight, hypertension status, LDL cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking; HR = hazards ratio; for continuous variables, hazards ratios are for 1 standard deviation (SD) change.
