Birth or adult residence in the AF-risk zone and hazard ratios for AF-related mortality, HRS participants.

	Whites		Blacks		Pooled
	HR	(95% CI)	HR	(95% CI)	HR	(95% CI)
Model 1: Birth in AF-risk zone*
AF-risk zone birth	1.56	(0.98 to 2.51)	2.64	(1.18 to 5.91)	1.78	(1.20 to 2.64)
Model 2: Adult residence in AF-risk zone*
AF-risk zone adult residence	1.28	(0.78 to 2.10)	3.82	(1.64 to 8.92)	1.63	(1.08 to 2.46)
Model 3: Modeled together*
AF-risk zone birth	1.64	(0.87 to 3.09)	1.32	(0.39 to 4.46)	1.59	(0.93 to 2.72)
AF-risk zone adult residence	0.92	(0.48 to 1.80)	3.06	(0.86 to 10.92)	1.20	(0.69 to 2.09)
Model 4: Birth in AF-risk zone, excluding stroke related deaths†
AF-risk zone birth	1.80	(1.05 to 3.08)	1.06	(0.29 to 3.91)	1.65	(1.00 to 2.73)

^*n= 20,538 white and 3,785 black HRS sample members.

^†n= 19,850 white and 3,621 black HRS sample members without stroke related deaths.

All models are adjusted for demographic covariates: baseline age, sex, and (in pooled models) black race.
