Values are presented as HR (95% CI) per 2.0 min increment in baseline treadmill time. Model 1 adjusted for age, center, baseline BMI, lipid meds, smoking, education, alcohol consumption, and race and/or sex (when appropriate). Model 2 adjusted for Model 1 variables plus baseline trait value (e.g., baseline HDL-C). Both models in women adjusted for menopausal status. Number at risk and number of incident cases is given for each group for each dyslipidemic trait. Boldface indicates statistical significance (p<0.05).
