Association tested with Wald test with a Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for sex, LDL and HDL cholesterol, smoking, body-mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, blood pressure treatment and diabetes; age was used as the timescale.

Results were combined with fixed effects meta-analysis.21
