Data are presented as mean (SD) unless otherwise indicated. Smoking status was defined as current, former, or never smoker on the basis of self-report. Prevalent cardiovascular disease at baseline was defined as a self-reported history of coronary artery disease or prior revascularization of blood vessels. Hypertension was defined as a systolic BP ≥140 mmHg, a diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg, or use of antihypertensive medication. All participants in Pima had diabetes. All participants in AASK did not have diabetes. For ARIC, diabetes was defined as a fasting blood glucose ≥126 mg/dl, a random blood glucose ≥200 mg/dl, or self-reported use of insulin or oral diabetes medication. For the MDRD Study, CRIC, and NHANES diabetes status was defined as a fasting blood glucose ≥126 mg/dl, a random blood glucose ≥200 mg/dl, HbA1c ≥6.5, or self-reported use of insulin or oral diabetes medication.
