MACCE, major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events; MI, myocardial infarction; HF, heart failure.

After observing the degrees of height reduction for 10 years from 2002, we calculated the cumulative incidence rate of MACCE from January 2012 annually.

††Annual rate of height decrease: Group 1 (<0.3 cm), Group 2 (0.3 to <0.6 cm), and Group 3 (≥0.6 cm).
