Table 5. Hazard Ratios (95% Confidence Interval) for Mortality from All Causes and Cardiovascular Diseases for individual risk factors as a continuous variable.
Standard Deviation | All–cause mortality* | P values | Mortality from Cardiovascular Diseases* | P values | |
BMI | 3.49 kg/m2 | 0.92(0.88–0.97) | <.001 | 1.00(0.92–1.09) | 0.966 |
SBP | 21.09 mmHg | 1.15(1.09–1.23) | <.001 | 1.27(1.15–1.40) | <.001 |
DBP | 11.80 mmHg | 1.03(0.98–1.10) | 0.256 | 1.08(0.98–1.19) | 0.131 |
FBG | 30.47 mg/ml | 1.19(1.14–1.25) | <.001 | 1.18(1.09–1.27) | <0.001 |
TC | 44.84 mg/ml | 0.94(0.90–0.99) | 0.009 | 0.97(0.90–1.05) | 0.465 |
BMI indicates body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FBG, fasting blood glucose; TC, total cholesterol;
Hazard ratios expressed per 1 standard deviation increased value.
