Number of events corresponds to all events over the entire period of follow-up.

Cumulative incidence was calculated using competing risk methods at 60-months of follow-up, expressed as a percentage (%) of people with the specified outcome.

a

Cumulative incidence estimates during 1990–1995 were compared to those during 1980–1989 via a 2-sided t-test. Bolded values indicate a significant difference at P<0.05.

b

Cumulative incidence estimates during 1990–1995 were compared to those during 1996–2006 via a 2-sided t-test. Bolded values indicate a significant difference at P<0.05.

c

Analyses were restricted to women.
