Table 2. Adjusted hazard ratio of cardiovascular mortality for first-degree familial histories of different cardiovascular diseases. Estimates were adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, smoking, fasting glucose, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides.
