Traditional risk factor model contains age, sex, race, smoking, diabetes, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive use, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol level, family history of myocardial infarction, and statin use. Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval, ASCVD = atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, CHD = coronary heart disease. Bold values indicate statistically significant association (two-sided p-value <0.05).
