All sex‐interaction P values were ≥0.10 with the exception of the sex interaction for hypertension (P=0.02). BMI indicates body mass index; HDL, high‐density lipoprotein; MV, multivariable.

a

Event rate given as [incident cases]/[population at risk at baseline]=% incidence.

b

Change in at follow‐up examination per 5‐mg/dL increment in prolactin.

c

Multivariable model: age, sex, baseline level of outcome parameter, current smoking, hormone replacement therapy, and menopausal status.

d

MV+BMI: additionally adjusts MV model for baseline BMI.

e

Hypercholesterolemia was defined as total cholesterol ≥200 mg/dL or lipid‐lowering treatment.

f

Low HDL was defined as <50 mg/dL in women and <40 mg/dL in men.

g

Hypertriglyceridemia was defined as triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL or use of lipid‐lowering treatment.
