a

AUC calculated using logistic regression (adjusted the first five principal components) in a validation dataset of 454,486 participants in the UK Biobank of which 5228 had been diagnosed with PAD.

b

Statistical significance of the improvement in AUC after adding PRS was calculated by the Delong test.

AUC, area under the curve; PRS, polygenic risk score.
