The data were collected from the hospital discharge, hospital outpatient clinic, and primary health care registers. The data were analyzed with cross-tabulation and χ2 test and Fisher exact test, when appropriate. Number of cases in each group is shown in parentheses. Significant P values appear in boldface type.

Combination of the ICD-8, ICD-9, and ICD-10 diagnostic codes for cardiovascular morbidity and events [angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, heart failure, atherosclerosis, transitory cerebral ischemia, intracranial hemorrhage, stroke, other disturbance in intracranial blood flow (I65–I68) and sequelae of cerebrovascular disease].
