a The list of 113 causes of death was developed based on ICD-10 codes [24].

b To convert HDL-C or non-HDL-C concentrations in mg/dL to concentrations in mmol/L, multiply by 0.02586.

c Include 3 cases of hypertensive heart disease, 1 hypertensive heart and renal disease, 18 cases of heart failure, 30 cases of all other forms of heart disease, 5 cases of essential (primary) hypertension and hypertensive renal disease, 5 cases of atherosclerosis, 1 case of aortic aneurysm and dissection, and 4 cases of other diseases of arteries, arterioles and capillaries.
