Table 4. Multivariable associations between CVH score and incident HF.

Model HR (95% CI) p-value
1. Adjusted for age and sex 0.77 (0.72, 0.83) <0.0001
2. Adjusted for age, sex and LVM 0.82 (0.74, 0.90) <0.0001
3. Adjusted for age, sex and interim MI 0.80 (0.74, 0.86) <0.0001
4. Adjusted for age, sex, LVM and interim MI 0.84 (0.76, 0.93) 0.0006
5. Adjusted for age, sex, LVM, interim MI, log (BNP) and UACR* 0.83 (0.75, 0.93) 0.0008

HR indicates hazard ratio; BNP, B-type natriuretic peptide; LVM, left ventricular mass; MI, myocardial infarction; UACR, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio.

Values represent HRs for each 1-point higher CVH score.

Due to unavailability of biomarker measurements in a number of participants, the sample size for this model included 2046 participants. When tested in this smaller sample, the results for the other models were unchanged.
