CI = confidence interval; HR = hazard ratio; NHB = non-Hispanic blacks; NHW = non-Hispanic whites; NOMAS = Northern Manhattan Study.

^*Univariate analysis.

^†Model 1 also adjusted for age, sex, and other socio-demographic factors (completing high school, having Medicaid, or no insurance).

^‡Model 2 further adjusted for cardiovascular disease risk factors (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, waist circumference, tobacco use, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, moderate alcohol consumption, and not performing any physical activity).

^§Nonvascular death as a competing risk.
