HR (95% CI)* | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
RHR (bpm) | <59 | 59–64 | 65–70 | 71–77 | ≥78 |
Men | 0.96 (0.87–1.06) | 0.97 (0.88–1.06) | 1.00 | 1.06 (0.96–1.16) | 1.15 (1.05–1.27) |

Women | 1.21 (1.02–1.42) | 1.08 (0.91–1.28) | 1.00 | 1.16 (0.98–1.36) | 1.22 (1.04–1.43) |
*HR as compared to middle quintile, fully adjusted model (age, smoking, BMI, exercise level, diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, smoking, BMI, Townsend deprivation index. rate modifying medications). AMI: acute myocardial infarction; bpm: beats per minute; CI: confidence interval; RHR: resting heart rate.
