Total Deviance Improvements for Various Model Variants Compared With a Model Without Risk Factors Included

	Men			Women
Parameter a	+ Smoking b	+ Blood Pressure b , c	+ Lipid Levels b , c	+ Smoking b	+ Blood Pressure b , c	+ Lipid Levels b , c
	13.4	65.7	86.2	1.3	61.8	81.6
	5.7	57.1	81.1	11.5	45.9	77.8
	41.5	68.0d	88.8	25.0	72.9d	82.8
	38.7d	60.7	88.3	30.9d	66.2	83.5

^a See Figure 1 for definition of the parameters.

^b In each row, the deviance improvement is shown for a model with the risk factor acting only on the specific model parameter.

^c For each column from left to right, an additional risk factor was taken into account in the model, building on the preferred model of the previous column.

^d Preferred model.
