Figure 3:

Ranking of risk factors for venous thromboembolism by population attributable risk in the general population. The results are based on 66 001 participants in the Copenhagen General Population Study and the Copenhagen City Heart Study. All risk factors were dichotomized before analysis. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using Cox regression models with age as the underlying time scale. Only significant HRs were included in the model; sex, hypertension and diabetes mellitus were considered but were not statistically significant.
