Figure 2.

Cumulative incidence of gout by (A) quartile of genetic urate score stratified by sex (B and C). The cumulative incidence of gout from visit 1 for participants of Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities was estimated using a Kaplan–Meier approach. All cumulative incidences (%) from visit 1 should be interpreted as the percentage of participants with newly diagnosed gout, conditioned on survival to that age. The genetic urate score is measured in μmol/L. Quartile 1 of the genetic urate score ranges from −59.1 to −13.1; quartile 2: −13.2 to 0.3; quartile 3: 0.4 to 12.0; quartile 4: 12.1 to 60.8.
