RR is the relative risk evaluated using the Cox proportional hazard regression model.

CI denotes confidence interval.

LLP denotes long living parents.

Model 1: basic adjustment (field center, birth cohorts, as well as sex and family groups, when applicable).

Model 2: basic adjustment + LDL-C.

The results of Model 1 are not the same as in Figure 1A because individuals with missing information on LDL-C (3.5%) were excluded from these analyses.

Ntotal is the sample size; Nevent is the number of events.
