Abbreviation: CVD, cardiovascular disease.

a The results are presented in 10-year increments in landmark age at 40, 50, 60, and 70. Above landmark age 76 for women, the predicted 10-year CVD risk for all individuals in the risk set was greater than 10% for both standard risk predictions and statin-naive risk predictions; therefore, there was no movement between the 2 categories for those older landmark age groups.

b Events within 10 years and event-free at 10 years for the reclassification table were defined using the counterfactual follow-up time, assuming statin had not been initiated.
