A 1-SD unit increment in CV-FG at year 30 is 3.3%.

*Model 1 adjustments: age, sex, race, field center.

†Model 2 adjustments: model 1 adjustments plus highest level of educational attainment and cumulative values for number of years as a current smoker, grams of alcohol consumed weekly, BMI, physical activity, systolic BP, use of BP-lowering medications, LDL-C, and use of cholesterol-lowering medications.

‡Model 3 adjustments: model 2 adjustments plus weighted average of FG.

§Model 3A adjustments: model 3 adjustments plus the incidence of diabetes, diabetes medication use, and diabetes duration.

‖Model 3B adjustments: model 3 adjustments plus change in FG level during variability measurement.

¶Model 3C adjustments: model 3 adjustments plus year 30 FG level.
