A1c indicates glycosylated hemoglobin; ASCVD, 10‐year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk; BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; CHD, coronary heart disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL, high‐density lipoprotein; LDL, low‐density lipoprotein; SMI, serious mental illness; and SBP, systolic blood pressure.

*

ASCVD risk is calculated only for patients aged 40–75 years without known CVD (n=247 909).

Thirty‐year lifetime risk of CVD is calculated only for patients aged 18–59 years without known CVD (n=233 308).

Calculated for patients with diabetes who have available A1c tests within the past 5 years (n=37 600).

§

Calculated for patients without diabetes who have available A1c tests within the past 5 years (n=33 055).

||

Aspirin use was calculated only for individuals with known CHD (n=15 451).
