Analyses were adjusted for sex, age at entry point, principal components, familial relatedness, study center and known cardiovascular factors (current smoking, body mass index, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, total cholesterol and lipid treatment). The Hazard Ratios (HRs) are presented per 1 unit increase in GRS. A 1-unit increase in GRS corresponds to a 1-year decrease in expected age at natural menopause.
