†
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) comprised of composite outcomes coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and peripheral vascular disease (PVD).
‡
Numbers presented are number of events, not number of subjects with event. By definition, men in this study who had an event may meet the criteria for more than one CVD event.
