Includes SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) associated with incident cardiovascular disease and intermediate phenotypes

b

Includes only SNPs associated with incident cardiovascular disease

c

Parental MI (myocardial infarction) before age 60

d

P-value is for comparison with the base model c-index

e

P-value is compared to the null NRI of 0% or equal reclassification correctly and incorrectly

f

Age, systolic blood pressure, hypertensive medication use, smoking, diabetes, total and high density lipoprotein cholesterol

g

Age, systolic blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, total and high density lipoprotein cholesterol, c-reactive protein, family history of premature myocardial infarction
