Values with dissimilar superscripts differ significantly (p ≤ 0.05, Benjamini–Hochberg correction for multiple comparisons), 1 Values are median (95% CI), 2 estimates of “other” race not reported but included in analysis; 3 medical history includes stroke, coronary heart disease, coronary heart failure, diabetes, heart attack and hypertension. Values with dissimilar superscripts differ significantly (p ≤ 0.05, Benjamini–Hochberg correction for multiple comparisons).
