Model 1: Adjusted for age and sex

*

Model 2: Adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, hypertension treatment, total cholesterol, HDL, diabetes, smoking status, statin use. After excluding HDL from Model 2, the HR [95% CI] per 1 SD increment in ln(SDF-1) did not change for CVD, and the p-value was insignificant (p=0.11). For MI, exclusion of HDL from Model 2 had a HR= 1.2 [1.0–1.5] and p-value = 0.020.

Model 2: Adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, hypertension treatment, HDL, BMI, diabetes, smoking status, atrial fibrillation, coronary heart disease, valvular heart disease

Model 2: Adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, hypertension treatment, total cholesterol, HDL, diabetes, smoking status, angina, atherosclerotic CVD, and HF

Model 3: Adjusted for respective Model 2 outcome+ BNP
