The data are presented as comparisons between different groups, according to summarised selected risk points (lifestyle plus biological risk factors) in the health profile (low-risk 9–14, middle-risk 15–18 and high-risk group 19–29 risk points), summarised lifestyle or biological risk markers (low-risk 3–5, middle-risk 6–8 and high-risk group 9–14 risk points).

If the CI includes 1.0, then the risk reduction or increase is not statistically significant.
