NOTE: For non-Latino whites, the gain in AUC is significant (p<0.05) for an of the top ten predictocs in each age group. For non-Latino blacks, the gain in AUC is significant except for hospitalizations, use of 5+ medications, and albumin at ages 20–64; cancer. BMI, and heart rate at ages 65–79. and at ages 80+ only the top lour predictors are significant. For Latinos, the gain in AUC b sinificant except for albumin, heart rate, smoking, and diabetes at ages 20–64. stroke, hospitalizations, and albumin at ages 65–79; and at ages 80+, only the top four predictors are significant.
