Model 1 adjusted for age (continuous), race, sex, body mass index (continuous), education (more than high school vs. not), hypertension, and aspirin use; model 2 adjusted for model 1 plus chronic kidney disease and atrial fibrillation. HRs for all continuous measures per 1 SD unit increase.

HR = hazard ratio; other abbreviations as in Tables 1, 2, and 6.
