Model 1 includes age (as a continuous variable), sex, study site, baseline statin use, and Agatston CAC score (continuous).

Model 2 includes Model 1 + hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes

*

CVD mortality includes the following: other circulatory disorder, CHD, stroke, and congestive heart failure.
