Hazards ratios obtained from Fine and Gray method. Results represent hazards ratios for a given event subtype across CAC score strata (with CAC=0 as the referent), adjusted for the occurrence of other first events.

The model for any CVD event considered possible outcomes of any CVD and non-CVD death only.

Model 1: unadjusted

Model 2: adjusted for age and race

Model 3: adjusted for age, race, systolic blood pressure, total and HDL cholesterol, smoking status, and diabetes CAC = coronary artery calcium, CVD = cardiovascular disease, CHD = coronary heart disease, NFMI = nonfatal myocardial infarction, HF = heart failure
