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=154022, Events=131

Factor Level Hazard Ratio P value
BMI overweight 1.27 (0.78, 2.07) 0.333
BMI obese 2.62 (1.63, 4.22) 6.84e-05
BMI underweight 0 (0, Inf) 0.992
smoking previous 1.3 (0.9, 1.9) 0.166
smoking current 1.71 (0.99, 2.95) 0.0544
hypertension yes 1.97 (1.38, 2.82) 0.000171
