Values are reported as hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) and are computed from a model that included sex, race, BMI, recruitment site, education, income, smoking, alcohol consumption, total energy, energy-adjusted n3-PUFA, saturated fat, monounsaturated fat and proteins, diabetes, statin use and the interaction between n3-PUFA and statin use.
