Figure 2.

Estimated mean time spent in each major cardiovascular event 10-year-risk category and transition probabilities to the next risk category, incident major cardiovascular event (fatal or non-fatal) and non-cardiovascular death

Transition probabilities between groups and to events or deaths are presented next to arrows as percentage (95% CI). Mean time spent is calculated on the basis of all transitions and includes all individuals who visited the category during follow-up. The high-risk category has been split into two: high risk (7·5 to <15·0%) and very high risk (≥15%) to describe risk progression.
