Notes:
a
Adjusted for age and sex at baseline.
b
Adjusted for age, sex, SBP, total cholesterol, glucose and smoking habit at baseline.
*
P < 0.05 vs. Q1.
**
P < 0.01 vs. Q1.
***
P < 0.001 vs. Q1. There are 31 subjects who could not measure vWF in all-cause death. There are 6 subjects who could not measure vWF in cancer death.
Abbreviations: vWF; von Willebrand factor; Q, quartile; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
