Comparing characteristics of present study to results representing German population (DEGS1)
| Males | Females | |||
| PF Registry | DEGS1 | PF Registry | DEGS1 | |
| Smoker | 14.5 (12.5 to 16.5) | 26.1 (24.0 to 28.2) | 15.1 (12.6 to 17.9) | 21.4 (19.7 to 23.1) |
| Former smoker | 29.3 (26.9 to 31.9) | 33.7 (31.9 to 35.5) | 26.9 (23.9 to 30.2) | 22.8 (21.4 to 24.2) |
| Overweight | 60.5 (57.9 to 63.0) | 67.1 (65.0 to 69.2) | 37.9 (34.6 to 41.3) | 53.0 (50.8 to 55.1) |
| Obese | 13.7 (12.0 to 15.6) | 23.3 (21.2 to 25.4) | 12.5 (10.3 to 15.0) | 23.9 (22.0 to 25.9) |
| Hypertension | 35.7 (33.2 to 38.3) | 33.3 (31.1 to 35.6) | 20.9 (18.2 to 23.8) | 29.9 (28.1 to 31.9) |
Values are in per cent (95% CI). Results were directly age standardised using German population of 2011 to ascertain comparability. Characteristics were defined according to DEGS1: Overweight, BMI ≥25 kg/m2, obesity=BMI ≥30 kg/m2, hypertension=systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg.
