HRs for Incident Stroke, MI, and All‐Cause Mortality per Unit Increase in BMI

Variable	No. of Participants (No. of Events)	HR (95% CI) per Unit Greater BMI
Stroke or MI
MV model	3064 (102)	1.00 (0.95–1.05)
MV model excluding those with short follow‐up and previous CVD	2547 (65)	0.99 (0.93–1.06)
All‐cause mortality
MV model	3065 (89)	0.94 (0.89–1.00)
MV model excluding those with short follow‐up and previous CVD	2582 (59)	0.95 (0.88–1.02)

MV models were adjusted for sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, education, income, marital status, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, previous stroke/MI/angina pectoris, prescribed antihypertensives/anticoagulants/lipid‐lowering agents, and moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity. BMI indicates body mass index; CVD, cardiovascular disease; HR, hazard ratio; MI, myocardial infarction; and MV, multivariable adjusted.
