Table 5. Relative integrated discrimination improvement statistics (RIDI, 95% confidence intervals) comparing models with a given anthropometric variable with models for which the variable has been replaced by another anthropometric variable.

Model 1 Model 2 All death CVD death
BMI WC 0.150 (0.140-0.160) 0.543 (0.524-0.563)
BMI WHR 0.335 (0.321-0.348) 0.265 (0.236-0.295)
WC WHR 0.184 (0.175-0.193) −0.276 (−0.302 to −0.250)

BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; WHR, waist to hip ratio; CVD, cardiovascular disease.

Multivariate models are adjusted for: cohorts, age, sex, diabetes status, systolic blood pressure, history of CVD, social class, physical activity, smoking status and total cholesterol
