Risk for cardiovascular outcomes or cardiovascular mortality

	HR [95% CI] adjusted for gender, age, SBP, DM2 incidence, LVH and smoking	P -value	Crude HR [95% CI]	P - value
LVH, Cornell criteria	2.66 [1.39 – 5.10]	0.003	2.47 [1.39 – 4.60]	0.005
Gender (Male)	0.58 [0.24 – 1.40]	0.223	1.18 [0.73 – 1.90]	0.491
Age	1.07 [1.03 – 1.12]	0.002	1.07 [1.02 – 1.11]	0.003
SBP	1.01 [0.99 – 1.03]	0.108	1.02 [1.00 – 1.03]	0.022
DM incidence	1.63 [0.99 – 2.68]	0.055	2.08 [1.30 - 3.30]	0.003
Smoking	0.68 [0.16 – 2.88]	0.603	1.71 [1.05 - 2.80]	0.033
Male * Smoking	6.17 [1.11 – 34.24]	0.038	2.00 [1.21 - 3.31]	0.007

Hazard ratios were estimated by using proportional hazards (Cox) regression modeling with LVH.
