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=153508, Events=407

Factor Level Hazard Ratio P value
BMI overweight 0.96 (0.75, 1.22) 0.716
BMI obese 1.36 (1.06, 1.76) 0.0167
BMI underweight 0 (0, Inf) 0.986
smoking previous 1.37 (1.1, 1.7) 0.00438
