Multivariable Adjusted Hazard Ratios for Mortality with 1% Increase in Red Cell Distribution Width

	Deaths / n (%)	Model 1	Model 2
Variable		HR (95% CI)	HR (95% CI)
Peripheral Artery Disease	4039 / 13039 (31.0%)	1.15 (1.13-1.16)	1.10 (1.08-1.12)
Low ankle-brachial index	2891/10087 (28.7%)	1.15 (1.13-1.17)	1.10 (1.08-1.12)
High ankle-brachial index	1148 / 2952 (38.9%)	1.13 (1.11-1.15)	1.09 (1.06-1.12)

Model 1 adjusted for age and sex.

Model 2 additionally adjusted for body mass index, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, smoking, coronary heart disease, heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, malignancy, statin and aspirin use, and hemoglobin level.
