Data are n (%) for numbers available, median (IQR) for continuous variables (except for examination years where the range is given), n (%) of participants or % (95% CI) for categorical variables. p values are given for the validation cohort versus the derivation cohort using weighted versions of the Mann-Whitney and χ2 test. Due to the presence of the Estonian case-cohort dataset, the summary estimates (% and median [IQR]) are weighted by the inverse of the inclusion probability for individuals in that cohort. The individuals from other cohorts are given weight 1 in the computation. Totals (n) are not weighted. From the Estonian data only, the sub-cohort is used in the table computations. SCORE=Systematic Coronary Risk Estimation. PCE=Pooled Cohort Equations. BMI=body-mass index.
