Both models stratify on 5‐year age cohort, sex, and education. Model 1 includes race/ethnicity and chronic disease as covariates; model 2 also includes 10‐year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk. Each hazard ratio reflects a 1‐SD change in the predictor. CRP indicates C‐reactive protein; CVD, cardiovascular disease.
