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=153321, Events=259

Factor Level Hazard Ratio P value
BMI overweight 1.47 (1.07, 2.01) 0.0165
BMI obese 2.46 (1.81, 3.35) 1.19e-08
BMI underweight 0 (0, Inf) 0.998
smoking previous 1.06 (0.81, 1.39) 0.676
smoking current 0.75 (0.46, 1.22) 0.25
hypertension yes 0.83 (0.58, 1.19) 0.31
