Surrogate Link to Main Outcome References
TC 1 mmol/L lower TC is associated with lower CHD mortality equal to: Prospective Studies Collaboration 2007 [34]
- hazard ratio 0.44 (0.42–0.48) in both sexes at ages 40–49
- hazard ratio 0.66 (0.65–0.68) in both sexes at ages 50–69
- hazard ratio 0.83 (0.81–0.85) in both sexes at ages 70–89
LDL For a 10 mg/dL (0.26 mmol/L) reduction: Briel et al. 2009 [35]
- relative risk reduction is 7.1% (4.5% to 9.8%) for CHD events
HCY For each 5 μmol/L increment: Peng et al. 2015 [36]
- pooled risk ratio is 1.52 (1.26–1.84) for CHD deaths
SBP Every 10 mmHg reduction: Ettehad et al. 2016 [37]
- reduced the CHD events (relative risk (0.83, 0.78–0.88)
- reduced the STR events (relative risk (0.73, 0.68–0.77)
- reduced the HF (relative risk (0.72, 0.67–0.78)
BMI The relative risk for a 5 unit increment is: Aune et al. 2016 [38]
- 1.41 (1.34–1.47) for HF incidence
TNF-α The increase of 0.668 pg/mL in TNF-α is equal to an increase of STR risk with an odds ratio of 1.813 (1.194–2.748) Dong et al. 2015 [39]
1-SD increment of TNF-α is associated with increased risk of CHD:
- hazard ratio 1.09 (0.92–1.30) Kaptoge et al. 2014 [40]
