Definition Diseases of the parasympathetic or sympathetic divisions of the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; which has components located in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM and PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Autonomic dysfunction may be associated with HYPOTHALAMIC DISEASES; BRAIN STEM disorders; SPINAL CORD DISEASES; and PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES. Manifestations include impairments of vegetative functions including the maintenance of BLOOD PRESSURE; HEART RATE; pupil function; SWEATING; REPRODUCTIVE AND URINARY PHYSIOLOGY; and DIGESTION.

Risk factors analysis

‘Healthy’ BMI, smoking status ‘never’, or no hypertension (absence of hypertension records) were considered as reference values.

Hazard Ratio (HR) values with P < 0.0002 were considered to show significant association with disease onset after correction for multiple-testing using the Bonferroni method

N=153420, Events=132

Factor Level Hazard Ratio P value
BMI overweight 0.98 (0.66, 1.47) 0.928
BMI obese 1.08 (0.69, 1.7) 0.735
BMI underweight 0 (0, Inf) 0.992
smoking previous 1.16 (0.78, 1.73) 0.462
smoking current 2.27 (1.45, 3.57) 0.000355
hypertension yes 1.19 (0.76, 1.85) 0.449
