The hazards ratios for hip fractures are per unit increase in the predictor:

*

Per 1 unit increase in the ratio (index) of the ankle to brachial blood pressures.

**

Per one average standard deviation increase of IMT – i.e., standard deviations away from the mean IMT variable.

***

Per 1mm increase in both walls of the aorta.

ABI – ankle arm index; CD – carotid artery disease; AWT – aortic wall thickness; N – number at risk; Fx – number of hip fractures

Model 0 – age, sex and race;

Model 1 – Model 0 + current smoking + alcohol (0 ref, 17, >7 drinks);

Model 2 – Model 1 + weight (kg) + diabetes+ hypertension+ eGFR cystatin + estrogen (females) + history of falling in the year before baseline
