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

CI denotes confidence interval.

LLP denotes long living parents; “Off” denotes offspring; M denotes men; W denotes women.

Model 1: basic adjustment (field center and birth cohorts);

Model 2: basic adjustment + LDL-C;

Model 3: basic adjustment + LDL-C + diseases of heart + lipid-lowering therapy.

The results of the Model 1 are not the same as in Supplementary Table 5 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.
