*

unadjusted and per 1,000 person-years

Models additional adjust for interim coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation as time-varying covariates and use time updated age

Values in bold font are statistically significant, p<0.05

Model 1: age, race/ethnicity, sex, MESA site, CT scanner type, and time between baseline & follow-up CT

Model 2: Model 1+ educational status, BMI, smoking status, pack-years of smoking, & physical activity

Model 3: Model 2 + systolic blood pressure, use of antihypertensives, use of lipid lowering medications, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, diabetes status & eGFR

Model 4: Model 3 + baseline coronary calcium
