Number of cardiovascular events and 10-year event rate by ethnicity and AHA risk category

High risk At-risk Optimal risk Not in any
category
N (%/10-years)
White 3011 (36.0%) 6498 (8.9%) 172 (3.6%) 637 (4.4%)
Black 581 (29.1%) 694 (8.9%) 7 (4.0%) 17 (2.7%)
Hispanic 115 (18.9%) 185 (5.5%) 3 (2.2%) 15 (2.8%)
Asian 71 (22.3%) 121 (6.1%) 2 (1.0%) 12 (2.1%)

Cardiovascular events included myocardial infarction/coronary death/stroke/hospitalized angina P-value from a likelihood ratio test examining the interaction of ethnicity with risk category = 0.002; result was the same when “Not in any category” women were combined with “Optimal” or with “at-risk” women or when “Not in any category” women were excluded.
