a The results are presented in 10-year increments in landmark age at 40, 50, 60, 70. Above landmark age 69 for men, 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 and the categorical NRIs were 0 for those older landmark age groups.

b Categorical NRI and IDI were calculated using information from individuals who were not censored at 10 years (either with CVD events within 10 years or event-free at 10-years). Events within 10 years and event-free at 10 years, for the calculation of categorical NRI and IDI, were defined using the counterfactual follow-up time assuming statin had not been initiated.

c Categorical NRI was calculated based on the 4 categories of predicted risk of <10% and ≥10%.

d Continuous NRI (the prospective form NRI) was calculated based on continuous predicted risk and used information from all individuals, including the censored subjects.

e Events and nonevents for continuous NRI (the prospective form of NRI) were the expected results estimated using the Kaplan-Meier approach with counterfactual follow-up time assuming statin had not been initiated, so this prospective form of NRI uses the whole sample and does not require the restriction to the noncensored subjects.
