Cumulative Incidence of CVD and Non‐CVD Mortality in Relation to Frailty Status Using Kaplan–Meier versus Competing‐Risk Method

Frailty Status	Cumulative Incidence, % (95% CI)
	Kaplan–Meier Method		Competing Risk Method
	5 y	10 y	5 y	10 y
CVD Mortality
Robust	2.4 (2.2–2.6)	8.0 (7.0–9.0)	2.3 (2.1–2.6)	7.4 (6.6–8.4)
Intermediate	5.3 (4.9–5.8)	15.3 (13.9–16.8)	5.0 (4.6–5.5)	13.1 (12.0–14.3)
Frail	13.2 (10.9–15.7)	32.5 (27.3–37.8)	11.7 (9.8–13.9)	23.8 (20.2–27.6)
Non‐CVD mortality
Robust	4.6 (4.1–5.2)	15.7 (13.8–17.6)	4.6 (4.1–5.1)	15.0 (13.3–16.8)
Intermediate	9.9 (9.0–10.8)	27.4 (25.3–29.6)	9.6 (8.8–10.5)	25.4 (23.5–27.4)
Frail	22.9 (19.4–26.7)	48.6 (43.6–53.4)	21.4 (18.1–24.8)	41.5 (36.9–45.9)

CI indicates confidence interval; CVD, cardiovascular disease.
