Number of incident events: Atherosclerotic Heart Disease (n = 99); HF (n = 33). Models are adjusted for age, sex, study site, education, smoking, physical activity, BMI, waist circumference, LDL-cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, treated hypertension, duration of diabetes, type of diabetes medication used, and treated hyperlipidemia; for the sphingolipid adjusted models, Cer-16 and SM-16 models include additional adjustment for Cer-22 and SM-22, respectively; Cer-20, -22, -24, and SM-20, -22, and -24 models include additional adjustment for Cer-16 and SM-16, respectively
