Models were adjusted for variables shown, smoking, LDL, Triglycerides, HDL, glucose, Creatinine, anti-hypertensive medications, anti-hyperlipidemic medications, and initial date of visit; results were reported for terms with P<0.1. First-age and Time interaction with covariates were tested and only significant interaction terms were included in the final model.

^*P<0.05 for the main term before inclusion of interaction terms, please see explanation in the footnote of Table 2. Cor (observed, predicted): was 0.85 and 0.83 in men and women, respectively.
