P-values for differences between BMI groups, adjusted Cox regression model (type 3).

a

Primary composite endpoint: composite of first occurrence of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke.

b

Expanded composite endpoint: composite of first occurrence of these three outcomes or revascularization or heart failure hospitalization.
