Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; NRI, net reclassification improvement; SBP, systolic blood pressure.

a Model 1: baseline measures of SBP, total cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol. Model 2: cumulative mean values of previous measurements of SBP, total cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol. Model 3: longitudinal mixed-effects model of repeated measurements of SBP, total cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol.

b The overall NRI could range from −2 to +2.
