Model	FRS		New Pooled Cohort Equation score
	Coefficient*	P value	Coefficient*	P value
Model 1	0.457	< 0.001	0.539	< 0.001
Model 2	0.406	0.001	0.396	0.001
Model 3	0.423	0.001	0.392	0.002
Model 4	0.443	< 0.001	0.426	0.001

Model 2, adjustment for age; Model 3, adjustment for age and LDL-C; Model 4, adjustment for age, LDL-C and BMI.

GDF15, growth differentiation factor-15; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; FRS, Framingham risk score.

^*Pearson correlation coefficients were used to assess the relationship between variables.
